I want to stick to organic ways to grow. If users don't like SN and stackers enough to tell other people about it, we shouldn't exist frankly. Plus, ads are expensive and hard to do effectively afaik.

Yeah, but maybe the thing just needs a start push. Just once in the beginning - to get the ball rolling.

Isn't the point of SN to avoid the advertising revenue model? Reliance on ads incentivises tracking, sensational posts and probably other antisocial behaviour.

Would you ever consider making ads for SN? Like e.g. on Twitter? Or do you think this wouldn't be an "organic" way to grow the platfom?
