+ Rocketboom will Remain Free

Even after prior posts, more posts are rolling in.

The title of the Market Watch article was apparently misleading.

Rocketboom will always remain free and easily available to obtain. That's our #1 foundational principle of being and I don't ever foresee needing to change that.

This is not an issue that is determined by money, it's just the way it is and you can take that for granted.

Also, we have had plenty of chances to completely smear advertising all over our videos and websites all day long every day so thats not the issue either. I can imagine how post-roll ads could work, we have done this in the past. We're holding out for the best way for the long run.

Drew - it seems you're the only one who cares if Rocketboom is free.

If you produce quality work, your audience will tolerate any form of advertising. Maybe the lack of discussion on this blog or on Rocketboom as of late is because your show is becoming very, very boring.

Drew - I was surprised when I read the Market Watch article and had to check to see if it was true. Thanks for letting us know that this isn't true. I can't see myself ever paying for podcasts.

Maybe Yasmin's right. Maybe we should just stop all forms of blogging altogether. I'm shutting down the server now.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
