I received an email today that got me thinking of a post I wrote a few weeks back…https://iamphildodd.com/2021/11/27/baby-count-your-blessings-cause-you-wont-find-one-like-me.

The company was interested in placing targeted advertising on all of my social media.

I have been involved with Pay For Post before. I did it in the early 2000’s and made a little bit of money with it. And mostly with free blogspot websites.

I have toyed with monetizing this site over the years. It would mean a whole lot of behind the scenes work, building the subscriptions etc, etc.

The biggest concern I always come back to is loss of control. If I take the money, I take the results. That means I might not agree with the product being advertised. Or use it. Or would actually recommend it.

Morality, and ethics.

I have never really ever thought of myself as either of those two. I am sure that many people have ,over the years, thought of me as just another knuckle-dragger. Crude, rude, all the rest.

Regardless.

I sit here continuing to ponder this dilemma…which really isn’t a dilemma it all.

Still….
