Finally, I have removed all the 3rd-party advertisements from Hero Fighter Empire. Whilst they did generate some revenue that could help cover the hosting expenses, I have some issues with them:
It would be nice for HFE to be self-sufficient, but using 3rd-party advertisements for this purpose is something that I personally find abhorrent.
So, what will I do about it? I am considering moving HFE to my RPI4. Doing this, however, requires some extra setup (SSD disk, backup disks, cloudflare, ...) and doesn't allow me to have an e-mail server dedicated to the website (due to dynamic IP). For the time being everything will remain the same, though.
- They clutter the website.
- Generally no one cares about them and they are off-topic.
- They cause loading problems for Chinese users due to Google being blocked in China.
- They generate little revenue. Let's just say that they cover about 36% of the server expenses.
