>>Well, that's honest insofar as it recognizes that it has to be sustainable, somehow bring in some $$ for the services it offers.
Agreed. All surveys conclude that people prefer advertizing if it means content can be free, or almost free. Plus I quite like the kit-cat association even though I'm not part of their target market. I won't be buying a kit-kat any time soon. But there are millions (billions?) out there who believe in snacking on low quality calories who may buy one because it's on their Precious. No victim AFAICS.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
