Re: This is all bull!

Actually DSLR/BBR makes money off of referrals on some of the carriers. Not all of the participate but most of the ones on the business/enterprise side do (i.e. for T1s and business DSL) and those sales pay exponentially more than the banner clicks. (Like $50-100 v/s $.05-.10.)

DSLR/BBR happily lets you turn off banners and such in your profile. Now if only every other website were so considerate of its users.

The obvious selfish flaw in your statement is that you assume the developer has a product to sell besides the content you are viewing. For example, DSLR doesn't really have a product to sell besides the content. If you block the ads it has no other significant revenue source.
