It seems like every time I see anything new online it is MONETIZED!
As if that's the entire point of even being online at all.
I do not, and will not monetize this site.*
I am not an affiliate of or for anything.
If I ever link to anything be it product, site, or whatever it will be because I have used it and it worked well enough for me that I'm not embarrassed to tell people I know personally about it.
That's it. That's the criteria.
I refuse to monetize because my writing will not ever be based on the fact that I got paid for something or that you need to spend money to read this.
Please note for any links to anything on YouTube: I do subscribe to premium services on that app, so I apologize in advance for any ads or the length of them. Since I don't see them I have no idea, I just found the video content itself useful.
*I am now a published author, and I will hawk my own stuff like nobody's business if it means that I don't have to go work for someone else! That being said, "commercials" or advertising for anything on this site will be a product of my own creation. Which, I feel is not monetization so much as self promotion.
