You can't say whether a statement is false or not based on random assumptions by someone who isn't even part of that community or has access to any real stats. Everyone's situation/setup is different.
Servers that go through lots of players will make more from ads then servers that keep players playing longer. Can you really say that a server will get 750+ views a day? No, you can't. However this topic is not about communities that never got delisted (like Lotus) using ads. But rather about those that are being delisted and keep coming back with new ips doing the same thing again (and successfully).
