Valuable content or?

[Saltfever]

A recent post by Jon here has prompted this post.

I have noticed a disturbing trend on HomemadeTools.

In the beginning keen minds and creative people all over the world altruistically posted valuable content without any thought of compensation. It was humanity at best, sharing and giving away useful content simply to help their fellow man. Content was always high quality and with enough diversification to stimulate the interest of just about anybody. Lately, I see content quality eroding with videos being used as a tool to simply collect revenue from You Tube adds. Quite frankly, I resent HT being used by such opportunists! I agree censorship is bad. Also, it is extremely difficult to weigh the delicate balance between what is “useful” content and diluted content purely for financial gain! However, when I see a short video with 3-6 adds, the author’s intent is clear and I don’t like being used that way.

Jon THANK YOU for this site. I know it isn't an easy job and I support you in any direction you take.
