One of the benefits we have as a community is that we are not reliant on
the potential income from this project to feed our kids.
More details will follow over the coming weeks...
Do the other members of this community feel so
strongly too?
No; but only the strongly-feeling are compelled to speak up. :)
That advertising is without merit and should be
avoided like the
plague for fear of contaminating out precious Linux Audio Ecosystem.

If you actually depend on the income from advertizers, _they_ are your
customers.
Personally, I don't care much; nobody _forces_ me to pay for ads, or
to watch them. I go to a web page to find useful information; ads
influence this only if they distract or event prevent me from that.
