Which site is this? If the site was big enough, most people should be able to pinpoint it.

Whether the site’s operator made $35 million from advertising remains a question, [...]

I'm really curious, where this much money would come from. Advertising on these sites isn't as lucrative and I won't believe that they made on average 0.5$ from each visitor. Don't people use ad blocking?
