After 20 years I turned off Google Adsense for my websites (blog.ericgoldman.org)

Eric Goldman says he turned off Google AdSense on his sites after 20 years, citing minimal income now, unwanted or intrusive ad placements that keep changing, and reader complaints about ad quality and intrusiveness. He also argues opting out better aligns his blog with a “non-commercial” classification for legal analyses and reduces any compliance or legal risk relative to the low revenue. He removed AdSense from all ericgoldman.org domains and asks readers to report any remaining ads.
