Seems the STINC doesn't have any good idea how to earn money on the blockchain technology itself. Steem is your baby, maybe you should try to find a way to monetize blockchain instead of putting ADS on the UI.
Car factories earn money on making cars and not printing other logos on them...
What will be next? selling our emails and phone numbers to 3rd parties?
Happy New Year! I really wish you the best!
