My thought being, if advertisers see great performance and click-throughs, they’re going to want to invest the “big bits” on SN.
Think we’re all used to the typical ad model now and so it’s probably expected behaviour for most of us.

Great points! This is v0 of ads (we literally just hacked it in while we focus on other stuff) so hopefully we can incorporate feedback like this in future versions!

yeah there could definitely be an option to send a stacker directly to an external webpage instead of the comments section.
right now the ads are just boosts, and so they inherit the properties of regular posts. there are some boosters that fit the profile of an advertiser, but others are simply looking for more eyeballs on their Stacker News content. makes sense to build different options for each group.
