Starting in the New Year, my content will no longer be available on TheStreet.com (RealMoney) or SeekingAlpha, but only here on World Beta.
Many people have written about the downsides of being associated with either site ad nauseam (Ritholtz at the Big Picture and Abnormal Returns (and here) especially) , and it is time to disassociate from both. To be clear, I have friends at both sites and wish them nothing but success in the future.
Stay tuned for some interesting developments in 2010.
PS How can you, in good faith, run an investment website with ads like this? (Source: Both AOL DailyFinance and TheStreet.com currently running these ads) Up 2000%!!
good move, Seeking Alpha has become cluttered with noise and no accountabilty
As a paying subscriber at TheStreet.com/RealMoney I should not have to put up with advertisements at all. However, these can be easily ignored so that is not my main gripe. The really noxious thing about the site are the many commentators who seem to think they have the right to propagandize their paying readership with their political rants.
Probably a good move for you. I only wish we had overlapped at RealMoney.
There is a freedom of speech issue. You can't refuse an ad that is legal, just because you (and I) think is both absurd and a public danger.

Saddy, the sights have the right to refuse any ads at all…
