Communication is everything
ADS Yes, ADS No
Many users have expressed their dissatisfaction with the implementation of ads in the main Blurt.Blog interface, considering this invasive, some publications have been made in support of this issue, others against it. But I am very struck by the fact that once again we are faced with the fact that it is stated that this function did not exist in Blurt or that the subject has never been discussed. After the attacks on Blurt, one of the most used interfaces was (https://blurtworld.com/), then blurtter. but returning to the subject, it is worth noting blurt.blog and blurtworld implemented the ADS, so it is not something new for the platform, in the case of Blurt.blog for some reason it stopped working or maybe it was just a test mode and with time blurtworld disappeared but its creator had implemented this feature permanently. This was a divisive issue for the time as it is now. Attached you will find a publication that summarizes much of the discussion that took place in the Discord channels and part of the explanation made by the developer. Yehey.
Blurt.Blog why implement ADS?
Although it is true that we can read multiple articles speculating whether the implementation of the ADS is good or bad, it is important to know first-hand the reasons why the foundation has decided to take that direction or why it could take that option, reasons that seem to be the same ones that were explained more than a year ago. Here I leave the exact text of the statement offered by @megadrive, text that not only explains the reasons for the implementation but also explains part of the reasons why blurt.blog currently has some flaws. So I invite you to read it so you can draw your own conclusions.
2 of our rpcs are down, we are redirecting to other working ones, sites may be buggy sorry for the issues. We have also turned off ads for now, and will test them on a staging site until we are happy they are discrete and not overpowering, ads serve the purpose of getting fiat income for Blurt that can be used for market making, paying devs, servers etc promotions etc, right now the foundation has very little cash reserves other than Blurt tokens so it is good to have a source of income than doesn't rely on selling Blurt for expansion.
You will recall steemit sold steem every month even if the price was down, something like 800K steem per month over and over, we have never done that on Blurt, small bits here and there for sundry expenses, we haven't even re-imbursed founders for server costs yet.
We will test google ads to see if they are worth having, there are other ad providers we can try as well and are open to suggestions.

ADS Si, ADS No
Muchos usuarios han manifestado su descontento por la implementación de anuncios en la interfaz principal Blurt.Blog por considerar esto invasivo, se han realizado algunas publicaciones apoyando este tema, otros en contra. Pero me llama mucho la atención que nuevamente estemos ante el hecho que se manifieste que en Blurt esta función no existía o jamás se haya hablado del tema. Después de los ataques ocurridos a Blurt una de las interfaces más usada fue (https://blurtworld.com/), luego blurtter. pero volviendo al tema, cabe destacar blurt.blog y blurtworld implementaron los ADS, por lo cual no es algo nuevo para la plataforma, para el caso de Blurt.blog por alguna razón dejo de funcionar o quizás solo fue un modo de prueba y con el tiempo blurtworld desapareció pero su creador había implementado esta función de forma permanente. Esto fue un tema divisivo para la época al igual que ahora. Anexo encontraran una publicación que resume mucho de la discusión que se sostuvo en los canales de Discord y parte de la explicación realizada por el desarrollador. Yehey.
Blurt.Blog por que implementar los ADS?
Si bien es cierto que podemos leer múltiples artículos especulando si es bueno o malo la implementación de los ADS es importante conocer de primer mano los motivos por los cuales la fundación ha decidido tomar esa dirección o por qué pudiera tomar esa opción, motivos que parecen ser los mismos que se explicaron hace más de un año. Acá les dejo el texto exacto del comunicado ofrecido por @megadrive, texto que no solo explica las razones para la implementación sino que también explica parte de los motivos por los cuales blurt.blog actualmente presenta algunas fallas. Así que te invito a leerlo y así puedas sacar tus propias conclusiones.
2 de nuestros rpcs están caídos, estamos redirigiendo a otros que funcionan, los sitios pueden ser buggy lo siento por los problemas. También hemos desactivado los anuncios por ahora, y los probaremos en un sitio de prueba hasta que estemos contentos de que son discretos y no abrumadores, los anuncios sirven el propósito de obtener ingresos fiat para Blurt que se puede utilizar para la creación de mercado, el pago de los desarrolladores, servidores, etc promociones, etc, en este momento la fundación tiene muy pocas reservas de dinero en efectivo que no sea Blurt tokens por lo que es bueno tener una fuente de ingresos que no depende de la venta de Blurt para la expansión.
Recordarás que steemit vendía steem todos los meses, incluso si el precio era bajo, algo así como 800K steem por mes una y otra vez, nunca hemos hecho eso en Blurt, pequeñas partes aquí y allá para gastos diversos, ni siquiera hemos reembolsado a los fundadores por los costos del servidor todavía.
Probaremos los anuncios de Google para ver si vale la pena tenerlos, hay otros proveedores de anuncios que podemos probar también y estamos abiertos a sugerencias.
A favor o en Contra?

Thanks for summarising my Discord address, it is important to note that historically the foundation has never signaled any upgrades, we don't talk about what we are going to do with empty words, we actually do the improvements and if they work out then we announce and pin the posts.
If we announce upgrades beforehand, we will most certainly have people who will complain about change, most people are averse to change. Every time there is a change there is someone that won't like it, there were for example some bloggers that didn't like the avatars when they first came out, also some that didn't like the new rewards curve, which is now fine for everyone after it had time to stabilise.
We are a small team that has zero fiat funding flows and work on Blurt in our spare time as a passion project, we don't have the bandwidth to debate every change and upgrade so we just roll them out and iterate later, we have always operated this way for all upgrades. Some things might not work out and we don't roll them out, this way also no expectations are made and no one is let down.
Ads can be seen as bullish, some communities encourage monetization so ad flow revenue can come to their community, it can evolve into watch-and-earn concepts over time.
Thank you for commenting on this publication, especially for sharing your ideas in a clear way on the issues that have become somewhat controversial these days. I must rescue that blurt needs investment and development, again we are at a point to offer interesting projects to the users. I would like to see you again posting here about your new projects and about everything related to blurt, if your time allows it.
Really great and decisive publication! I was badly waiting for such kind of explanations.
Megadrive sir has described all things nicely and you have added important information. Hope many people will read this publication and understand the problem and situation!
Thank you sir for your efforts!
Thanks for posting this. Not everyone is on Discord.
Thank you for this important information. Your explanation is enlightening.
First of all I would like to thank @freakeao.Which gives us better information. We didn't know about this. You have explained it well.And @megadrive has well explained. Especially I benefited a lot from this post.
I agree with what @megadrive and this article said. I totally agree that advertising is necessary to finance the development of the platform. This is certainly very useful for the progress of the platform. Hopefully Blurt.blog will be more advanced in the future!

No tengo nada contra publicidad no invasiva y que no recargue mi navegación. Entiendo que es una manera alterna de buscar fondos y no lo veo mal.
Recuerdo a Blurtworld-com, lo usé bastante, al igual que solía usar mucho Blurtter, es una pena que esos dos frontend ya no estén funcionando.
Buenas noches Pedro, en efecto has dado en el clavo con tu observación, que no sea algo invasivo y por otro lado que no perjudique tu conexion, pero esto es algo que ya no depende del portal (conexion), por lo cual debemos apostar por filtros para la publicidad para ganar algo de velocidad.
Bueno, en mi caso, tengo una señal de datos muy pobre, así que mientras no me perjudique la carga y la posibilidad de navegar, comentar y publicar, entonces no tengo problema :)
Me parece muy bien que haya anuncios por el propósito de no destinar todos los fondos de Blurt, también poder recaudar de otras maneras es genial y así se cuida más la estabilidad de la economía. Quizás lograr que los anuncios no sean tan abrumadores sea lo mejor y al tiempo todos se van acostumbrar.
Si, quemar Blurt en grandes cantidades puede llegar a perjudicar el precio, o puede dar una mala impresion a cualquier inversor. Gracias por comentar.
Como siempre, su intención de ser un embajador entre diferentes mentalidades es oportuna. Imagino que muchos habrán sentido que mis propias palabras sobre este asunto son como las que usted describe en su apertura aquí.
Comenté un extenso comentario en respuesta a una de mis respuestas, y en lugar de regurgitarlo dejaré un enlace aquí si te interesa.

As always your intent to be an ambassador between different mindsets is timely. I imagine many may have felt my own words on this matter are as you describe in your opening here.
I commented a lengthy comment in response to one of my replies, and rather than regurgitate it will drop a link here if you are interested.

My dear friend, I saw the notification of your response and immediately felt that fear of reading the answer. I must admit that few authors including you, writers or bloggers defend their views with solid bases, some users just answer for the sake of answering and others like me who do not have great knowledge try to do their best to bring some light on these issues. After reading your intervention in the attached link what else can I add? I will only stress that there should be a better communication for all users.
First of all thank you for sharing this informative post, I am using discord but I haven't seen it there.
And all of us know that ads are disturbing us using blurt.blog . But As co-founder of blurt blog @megadrive sir told that "ads serve the purpose of getting fiat income for Blurt that can be used for market making, paying devs, servers, promotions etc, right now the foundation has very little cash reserves other than Blurt tokens so it is good to have a source of income than doesn't rely on selling Blurt for expansion."
Because we are a part of blurt community.
So we can endure it, We can bear everything for blurt platform .
We love blurt
