No, not like TV since you pay for it.

Unless you want to have a system where you directly pay a few fractions of a cent per site visit, ads are how the site pays for hosting, administration, development, etc.

If it were just ads. But every ad is a tracking tool.

Right, that's definitely a problem. I'm not defending ads, as I block them whenever I can.

I'm just saying that the content wasn't intended to be free like the TLC claimed.
