"Why are there ads now?" While attempting to create a show as expansive as TEC without the financial support that ads bring was a noble goal, it was not ultimately a realistic one. We have enabled ads in order to support the future of The Collective and our projects, which includes the future of TEC. Whichever direction that takes. 😉
