@SuryaK that could actually be a nice idea... Showing ads as an opt-in option, so we could help the open source community

@IllSlapU we could regularise the ads, text based and industry related ads only. And ads would be curated and approved by the users of the community

The only way anybody would use a shell with ads would be if it paid them.

@CCAtAlvis

How would you convince people to use this shell, over others? It feels like the only pitch you have right now is, "see ads instead of what you want to see." Gonna need more.

The quality of the ads wouldn't be my concern.

What about a read-only terminal. You need to buy a DLC to be able to write.
