Sponsored content will be prevalent. Sponsored posts and articles will become much more common." Just because they become more common doesn't mean they should. Sponsor-based advertising ultimately failed in the television industry, although it has made a comeback in online viewing. That doesn't mean news articles and blog posts should be sponsored. As a matter of fact, blogs and news media need to shun sponsorship entirely. The message becomes corrupt when the message is tailored not to disagree with the position of the sponsor. “6.

Just the moderators don't want to volunteer any more time on it. The hosting charges I assume were at least covered by the ads. Wonder if Google ads would have made more money.

It wasn't an avenue to make tons of cash in the trendy web 2.0 world. It wasn't a replacement for local media. People just got their panties in a bunch. It's a blog. Jesus fuck. Someone will make a new one. I think cvillain ultimately failed because a wide variety of people saw the site as something it wasn’t.
