If you read this blog on the web (rather than through an rss reader, for example), and don’t use an ad-blocker, how annoying are the adverts?
They are hopefully fairly minimal and have two benefits – they mean I don’t have to pay WordPress to not have them, and the tiny amount they bring in covers the running cost of the site (domain registration, file storage upgrade, etc.).
I’ve largely thought that if people find them that annoying they can use an ad-blocker – this site is hardly the only place where you experience them. But I’m tempted to remove them entirely, even if that costs me a bit. I’ve not wanted to go down the subscription model, or premium content, or donations…
Any thoughts appreciated.

Not a problem at all.
Dear Stuart,
For me the ads are not a big deal: they are easily enough ignored. No need to spend money on what you can now do without having to pay, in my view.
Thank you again for your dedication to Progressive Geographies and to the frequent postings, which I always look forward to reading.
All my best,
Roger
