I read this as chic crocs and I would totally buy chic crocs.

tbh I do have a pair of platform ones but I wouldn’t call them chic.

That's about as stupid as saying support your local ski shop that charges exactly msrp..

If they'd participate as a brave publisher, they'd get a monthly tip from me the same way several YouTubers I follow get monthly tips. Im not going to be advertised to with ridiculous banner ads and trackers like it's 2010. If NS wants more support they should join us in 2020 and maybe get a functioning shop or get creative and do group buys on gear people want or a subscription box or some shit.

Idk man ads are just so much more reliable than anything else. Ad revenue is pretty much directly correlated to site traffic, while donations or a retail model can be inconsistent or variable in their success.

Ads must be location based cuz this is all I've been seeing. First of all, no thank you Big Bear. Secondly, why tf are you still reminding me that prices go up December 23?

Because the ski industry is on cruise control and the person that made/posted the ad has either been fired and replaced with an intern or figured out real money is hard to come by in an industry that doesn't give a shit.

Download Brave browser and just be done with ads like this.
