My side project grew into my only source of income. I still decided to do everything myself. After all, this project teaches people how to do many of those things.

The biggest thing I won't do is sell out. I put that on a page and point advertisers to it when they start to annoy me.

tl;dr: my readers get the same advice as my best friend, even if it makes your product look bad. Live with it.

Here is my list of things I won't do:

- Sell out to advertisers

- Cover current events (way too much work)

- Moderate comments or manage a community

- Give interviews or draw attention to myself

- Cause harm to my community (with unethical advice)

- Give moral advice
