Are you aware that ads affect your mind and brain and hence influence the way you think and decide upon financial transactions?

Ads are worse than you may think. Giving a buck to that dev is better for him than all those ads you "watch".

OC could watch 2 ads a day for 5 years and it still would make the dev less money than a $1 donation
