Contrary to my distaste for them, but I wouldn’t mind advertisements now and then. By now and then, I mean, like once every other hour or if they’re displayed in a way that isn’t obstructing. Obviously that is not how they are these days.
I know companies need to still get out there and be known but I do not need to know that much and I don’t really care of your business if I have to hear, see and have spoken to me of it at every single turn. I would especially love it, if everything wasn’t a paywall to not see any.
Advertisements are just simply a disease.
Run for president, oust anyone that’s lazy and not contributing, put in place movers and shakers who care about the community, be the change you want to see.
Generally speaking, one runs for a place on the Board and the Board chooses their President. Who then needs to continue working with the other Board members. Ousting is not an option.
Getting on the Board is still a good way to get your pet peeves changed, though. Often it’s just a matter of focusing attention on it.
