Why Ads?

This is a lovely question deserving of a lovely answer. The answer is: I need to eat!

Scour the Internet for all the lovely projects which are open source. What's one thing they have in common?

They're either ad-supported or they're deprecated.

Even some of the base features of VLC have stopped working with Linux because no one is motivated to solve minor problems.

Our ads also support the community forum, built into this player. There, you can discuss musical topics and exchange playlists with other listeners. Ads also support our video information extraction server, which fetches your titles, video times, and creators from Youtube.

Tragedy of the Commons

Why is the viewer so small?

SIMP's purpose is music consumption first and foremost. What would be the purpose of replacing Youtube with videos from Youtube?

Secondly, our ad unit wouldn't fit in a window with a bigger player. . . Not going to lie, that's a majority of it.
