Adam Carolla and thoughts about Hardcore Husky
But that podcast is becoming increasingly difficult to listen to. They open up with four minutes of commercials. Then they start talking, but sixty seconds later they start giving plugs to their sponsors. Then Adam will start complaining about the mayor of LA or he's yelling at Drew for something. A few minutes pass and here they go cramming more 60 second ads and plugs into the show. So now, if the show goes 30 minutes, there are 10-12 minutes of plugs and commercials. It feels like the podcast equivalent of QVC.
But this has given me thoughts about Hardcore Husky. I have long said that the ultimate goal of this site is to get to 5 million page views a month and then get a bunch of quality sponsors who don't mind all the profanity and shenanigans found here. But would that be best for the site? Would it cheapen the experience to log onto Hardcore Husky and have all these ads and flashing banners, etc.? I don't think I'd like it. I feel like it would be akin to wading through all those ads with Adam Carolla.
I almost feel like if our traffic can continue to grow and the annual fundraiser eventually reaches $15-20,000, that would be enough compensation for running this degenerate day care. I would prefer that than making more $$ but having Hardcore Husky have a bunch of flashing banners. I would prefer to maintain the experience that we have on here every day.
I'm just thinking out loud here.

Too many on here are still enjoying free beer. Time to step up, fuckos. Even an unemployed and unemployable like me can chip in a few bucks.

But if I'm not gonna get a badge then I'm out. -

Advertising based model will be a big downgrade in my estimation....unless you can somehow find a couple purple unicorns that aren't lame and don't give a shit about the fuckery that goes on here. We don't want to be like some crappy conservative talk radio host shilling for sleep number beds, gold and prepper supplies.
The solution remains for people to be better poasters (i.e., improved content) and for the parsimonious bastards to open up their piggy banks and pull out a shit ton of dimes. -
