I am the dude. Fair enough, but your summary misses the point. The original website was a useful tool that people use, but it didn't qualify for adsense. I draw an analogy to recipes. Recipe sites used to be useful, but now you have to scroll through tons of blogspam to even get to the recipe. Google has a monopoly on ads, and like it or not, ad revenue is how people who make websites get paid. Google's policies for what qualifies for AdSense have a huge impact on the internet.
The point of the post is to show how direct that relationship is, using an existing and useful website.
Years ago Google decided that the bigger a site was, the better. This is a ridiculous metric and has resulted in irrelevant bullshit, no offense, clogging the internet.
Hi Mr dude! Good article. I was just providing a TLDR since the title was a little nebulous and I'm sure some people aren't going to click through unless they get enticed. Sorry for missing the main theme.
