Unless it's static ads arranged directly with LFGSS. I dunno, a bike shop advertising with a discount code for example.
But yeah, no need for adverts if donations are ticking over nicely.

This is what I was thinking!

Which we tried with SJS Cycles. The problem being that we produce too much traffic (costly for advertisers) but don't drive enough sales (they don't make their money back).
For the page view count we have, branding from major cycling brands could work. But I'd still need to add a lot of tracking to satisfy their needs to see the money was well spent.
Removing adverts made things faster, more private, more secure... And regular donations from lots of people is more secure a revenue source... The incentives are aligned... You care about this place, and you're funding it.

Ads mean tracking, I've been doing a lot of work recently around cookies being dropped on clients' websites... LFGSS is so refreshingly light. Look at the partners/ vendors list in a tracking consent popup and see the number of partners they work with
A surprisingly small amount of the price paid for an ad goes to the publisher too.
