Adrants Is Not An Ad-Free Blog

It sure would be nice to live is a world without advertising but until aliens land and introduce an entirely new economic system, advertising will continue to make the world go ’round. We appreciate that there should always be a wall between advertising and editorial but we don’t subscribe to the notion that advertising devalues content as do the folks over at Ad-Free Blog. The group places blogs on a pedestal and claims that advertising on blogs devalues the medium. Again, we could go into our tirade about how blogging is just a really easy way to publish a website and not this new uber-religion it’s made out to be but will spare you that tired rant.

Contrary to the groups mantra, all blogs should not be ad-free. If all blogs should be ad-free, why not all websites? Why not all media? Why should blogs be held to this artificially higher standard? If the group is so adamant about advertising devaluing blogs, shouldn’t they be out trying to stop advertising from devaluing all media? Climb out of the clouds and smell the real world.

Psychology says the reason some people become warmer and more approachable after 60 while others become harder isn’t random — it’s that grief either opens people or seals them, and the ones who let loss soften them instead of sharpen them develop a quality that can’t be faked, which is the visible evidence of someone who survived something and chose tenderness over armour

Nobody prepares you for the loneliness of being the last person alive who remembers your mother’s voice, your childhood kitchen, or the sound your father made when he laughed. You become the sole archive of a world that ended, and there’s no one left to verify that any of it happened.

I’m 73 and I recently realized that almost everything I’ve called “my personality” for the last 40 years was actually a collection of survival responses that hardened into habits — the agreeableness, the efficiency, the emotional steadiness — and the question I’m sitting with now is whether there’s someone underneath all that architecture or whether the architecture is all there ever was
