    Ehh as long as the ads is not annoying as most websites (ie cookie req, videos ad, pop ups, invisible ad) that’s fine by me, I always tries to support good services as much as I can even tho I’m a pirate I know hosting a website is not cheap, many good websites/services got shutdown in the past because of server costs
