Advertisements by commercial service/product vendors

The Somewhere Else runs ads (and has been for years) and they are generally not click-bait. I wonder if this site could do something like that to be able to hire people to maintain it?

There are bound to be a few “makers” or business owners amongst us, who, I would hope, might be able to advise and reflect on this. I hope this site can continue to exist and thrive.
