I will also make it clear that I still find ED to be a valuable resource when it comes to getting a good summary of a cow and that I still get a lot of laughs out of some of the articles over there. That's why I linked to the ED page right at the beginning. All the drama and funny screencaps were already right there.

Yeah, I knew someone was going to say this lol. I have adblock on desktop but I really just don't have this problem on mobile with anything except ed. So I just don't go to ed on my phone. I'll probably do this at some point but right now it just doesn't seem worthwhile for one site I don't go to very often, you know?
To get this back on track, anyone ever check out their WIGO section (What is going on with the world)?
It's got four main sections:
World news: What world news they consider worth their time.
Blogosphere: What blogs they think are worth reading.
Clogosphere: A shitty ED ripoff in the form of a newsfeed like list of blogs they point and laugh at.
Saloon Bar: Sperg city about damn near anything.

Oh my god, it's...Reddit.I honestly have not. I got this screencap though. It's from this month.
Not the Web app. I'm talking about the browser. It's right here., and there are versions for iPhone and Android.
This goes without saying, but what was Jimmy Whales thinking making a discussion section with such horrible design?
Why would anyone use that over a forum?
Oh my god, I recognize that fucking avatar from some random ass Youtube comment section. How shameful.
Not sure if he ever linked his YT account, but if he didn't I can try to retrace my steps since I'm sure there's some decent content buried in there.
EDIT: Found it. Apparently he's a retsupurae fan.

The problem is that our servers cost over $1000 a month so we take any funding we can get. And those articles about 10 year old memes seem like they were written 10 years ago because they probably were, ED is 11 years old on the 10th of December
Yeah, I know. There's really not any reason to update ten year old articles about LiveJournal anyway. But those are my gripes with ED, otherwise I like it.
You're too sensitive. We don't think that lowly of it.
It's not like it's any less autistic than there, though.
Stop telling everyone im sensitive
I work hard on this fake persona ive got and you're ruining it
Chris can monetize being exceptional on the internet, maybe you can too?Crayola fuckin model magic ED medallions son.
You guys have options other than ads. If it were me:LikeicareKF said:
* I'd create an ED+ for some small monthly fee with discounts for bulk.
* I'd use the pool of funds to pay for server costs, plus offer payment to those who perform enough quality cleanup on the site's current articles.
* If extensive enough rewrites or entirely new articles on hot topics are needed, I'd offer an upfront bounty on those articles, plus a bonus to the author depending on the traffic their work generates.
Relying on ads alone just isn't viable anymore, especially since the only ads you guys get are for things like cam sites and Mindgeek affiliates.
