False Advertising
December 5, 2010
We’re an ad free blog here at Vox Nova. At least, we’re supposed to be. And yet sometimes when I click on a post to read the comments, there’s an advertisement placed between the post and responses. Shouldn’t the advertisers or WordPress or a lawyer or somebody be asking us permission before placing advertisements? Or at the very least asking for forgiveness after the fact and handing us a digital wad of cash?
Maybe there’s something in the small print. Or maybe…
…Are the rest of you contributors hiding something from me?

In other news, St. Nicholas, whose Feast we celebrate Monday, has been turned into an idol of consumerism.
Yeah, Kyle – about that. The rest of us were going to tell you, but then we got back to laughing maniacally while throwing huge wads of cash at each other. Sorry, dude.
This post comes dangerously close to criticizing wealth.
It’s particularly strange as you have a paid WordPress site as opposed to a free one. Paid WP sites should not have ads, IMO.
So, how about them republicatholics?
About a year ago, WordPress changed their terms of service. They insert ads for people not logged into wordpress. We could pay fee to get rid of them, but I can live with a little hypocrisy.
Pay a fee NOT to advertise? Talk about gettin’ it both ways? I think this qualifies as systemic evil.
Systemic evil, eh? So are we materially cooperating with it then? Is Matt formally cooperating amidst his throwing around of cash?
WordPress’s support staff are quite good. I’m sure you could at least get an explanation if you dropped them a line.
