We Are One-Year “Display Ad Free” – First Anniversary Fundraiser
In October 2025 I pulled the plug on annoying display ads. And I’m glad I did, no regrets even though it’s meant a loss of revenue.
In October 2025 we stopped running “display ads” – the ads fed through ad servers (mostly Google) that would display each time a user visited the site. It’s meant a loss of revenue, so we’re asking readers to consider a donation. DONATE HERE
Display ads provided a regular payment stream for us without us having to do anything. We were paid based on page views and clicks on ads. But there was a quality cost. Display ads are annoying, particularly in conservative world, where at many websites it’s a fight just to get to the substantive articles, and even then it’s just one pop-up after another, one auto-play video after another, forcing many readers to deploy ad blockers and other countermeasures. Rather than welcoming readers, display ads caused friction.
Even worse, even though we used a responsible ad manager, malicious ads still got through from time to time, including this one that we couldn’t seem to permanently stop (this is a screenshot from my phone so I was not immune):
I had enough of it, and pulled the plug on display ads. And I’m glad I did, no regrets even though it’s meant a loss of revenue.
Fortunately, creating the Legal Insurrection Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3), allowed us a financial alternative not dependent on traffic and ads. We have now switched to a donor-supported model for all of LIF, including this blog, CriticalRace.org, and EqualProtect.org.
Donations to us are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law. (See also our State-Specific Notices.) Monthly recurring donations, even if only a few dollars a month, for this purpose are particularly helpful, though of course one-time donations are appreciated as well. If you wish to make a one-time donation by check, our mailing address is: 18 Maple Ave 280, Barrington, RI 02806.
