This has nothing to do with good or bad faith. If people are only opting in because they want ads, then there are going to be a very small number of people opting in. Why have ads on Wikipedia pages when you can just google for things you want to buy? If payment *were* by click, then people would abuse it, which is why payment wouldn't be by click and we wouldn't get much money. That was the point I was trying to make. Can you give an example of a site with opt-in advertising that actually gets significant revenue from it (for the number of page views they get)? _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
