What bothers me most isn't that Gaia has ads to earn revenue, it's that Gaia seems to have an unquenchable greed for money, from it's users, it's advertisers, everyone. But Gaia REFUSES to allow ANYONE, especially it's loyal user base, to MAKE the money it so wants for itself, with anything to do with the site.
Maybe if Gaia let it's users MAKE money from the site, those users would pour that money back into the site.
Just a thought.
Not a bad idea, but they could also LISTEN to their userbase and quit re-releasing the garbage known as gold generators if they want more people to support the site. They need to clean up their buniness practices, or let us users make money off the site just like the third parties do.
Gaia doesn't listen to what it's users say, or at least if it does, it only seems to listen to its most blindly devoted fans about things like new items and what other colors an item should be offered in.
As evidenced by the many replies in this thread, and the many issues that were raised about gold generators and the runaway inflation, Gaia doesn't listen to it's critics. It is so deaf to even the most helpful and well intentioned constructive criticism that it doesn't even reply when such serious issues are raised. It just ignores them and hopes the issues go away and nobody important notices.
As far as I have seen, Gaia consists of corrupt individuals who abuse the platform their customers have paid for, and they will just continue to do so as long as the money keeps flowing.
Things being what they are, Gaia is unlikely to change and will just exist until the majority of users get mad enough to either stop giving money, or leave the site entirely.
