Let me say something heartbreaking. In the crypto world, if you want traffic, you need both money and a clean reputation—that’s unrealistic.

If you’ve taken cooperation money from a project team, don’t pretend to be a hero who happens to see injustice on the road. Money is reality, and your stance is a choice. You can take ads—this is business; but don’t, while collecting payments, also put on an act of being pure and innocent.
The market has never forced anyone. Deals you could have refused—you didn’t refuse,
so you’ve already worked out your own risk-reward ratio.
Taking money isn’t wrong. Pretending to be innocent is what’s awkward.
If you truly want to be independent, then just say it plainly:
I take ads, I do business, I monetize traffic.
Don’t wrap commercial behavior in the packaging of faith.
The most ironic thing in this circle isn’t taking money,
but taking money and still expecting others to help you maintain your persona.
I actually respect that kind of directness more.
At least, the books are clear.
