One of my favorite gripes on any list or calendar is the lack of ability to set custom recurring things such as 'every third Tuesday' or 'twice yearly.
There's a lot of so called custom builds but they mostly seem to default to one or two limited, inbuilt selections .
Most advertisers will argue that without their ads, the majority of these sites would not be able to provide the content that they do. Whilst there may be a shred of truth in this, I would argue that it's the popularity of the site and its content that draws the reader. If it's a poor site, it won't survive and the overall quality of the internet goes up.
Frankly, I don't even see ads no matter how much they like to shove it in your face. I use an adblocker so I am not downloading rubbish content that I neither want nor wish to be paying for.
For those sites that demand I leave identifying information in order to view them, I leave. If I am really vexed to see it, I will take the trouble to create a false identity. Who wins there?
That being said, there is a need for a decent site to obtain funding or some means for survival but there must be a better way than paid advertising.
