RE: Interview with @andrarchy about TRON and OpenLink.
I don't mind adds. Don't see them unless I want to. They were making paying for devs sustainable. Tron have money to burn now but how long will that last?
Well, they weren't really, the last count was approx 20K coming in from intrusive ads versus 180K I think it was outgoings.
So ads and still burning 160K is not quite sustainable in my book.
I didn't mind the ads so much as the way they were implemented. If you use a mobile version of Steemit.com the page is quite unusable at times, jumping around whilst loading them leading to a frustrating UX.
I would much prefer the deep pockets of Tron to take em away. But hey. who knows what will happen in the future.
Yes, the implementation was bad. How long will Tron have deep pockets? My concern is that they wont want to bleed money and at some point they will do what Steemit did, cut costs. Losing the add revenue speeds up that process.
