Why do I have to read anti-Democratic ads on DailyKos? I just saw a stop Terry McAuliffe ad. We've had these before. It's ridiculous.
I know there is an automatic service that inserts these ads on the page, but I question why it has to be thus. Who is making the money on these ads? How much money is coming in? What is it being used for?
The money comes from this "community's" eyeballs, but the community has no right to see the details on the ads--revenue, expenses, profits, losses.
I don't mind Kos (or whomever) making a living off ad revenue, nor do I in any way mind that the ad revenue is being used for advocacy and other worthy causes, but once I start seeing Republican junk on this site, it makes me question the whole revenue-generating dimension of the site.
