You're right, it was an emotional reaction comment. I don't like ads, I think ads are a negative on the world, and I hate that nearly every corner of the internet is funded by them. I use Firefox because it's open source software made by a non-profit that I believe is trying to do good in the world. So, when I saw your idea to put even more ads into Firefox, I knee-jerk'd out a negative comment.
I just wish we all directly and willingly funded things that were good.
