Apr 4, 2012 at 12:19 comment added mydoghasworms Yes, I see now, thanks. I did make a remark on the question here though, that I suspect that some ads are upvoted by fans, rather than being voted for based on their need for exposure. Anyway, it's community-driven, so I guess that's the vox populi.
Apr 4, 2012 at 10:39 comment added Pylsa @mydoghasworms I agree. However, as you can see here, VLC has had plenty of attention in the Community Ads program last year.
Apr 4, 2012 at 6:07 comment added mydoghasworms I disagree. Even though it may be ubiquitous (and I don't think it is - that's just your opinion), VLC is open source, and as such deserves everyone's support. After all, if obscureness were the defining criterion, then we would have to take down the ads for FreeBSD, Fedora and Notepad++.

Dec 30, 2011 at 19:48 comment added nhinkle Mod I don't think we need ads for popular software like VLC. Pretty much everyone's heard of it, and if they haven't, are already using something else that does the job. See the discussion at Define scope of community ads. What it boils down to is that VLC doesn't need our help to get attention - it's already wildly popular. We should be using community ads to promote things that aren't already so ubiquitous.
