The problem is ads make no money for the vast majority of writers, so they have to write a book and sell it to make writing worth their time. This is why you have to pay for almost all the D books, with free online books like Ali's the rare exception to the rule.
I see, but I thought the money was for the D Consortium/Organization.
Anyway it's really a big problem, if you see, currently sites like: vice, verge, medium etc. They all work with ads, every time you see a "click bait" title.
I remember paying $50 ~ $80 for Programming books, but that were the old times, today with ebooks and piracy things are bad.
