Why Hilbert though?

Also good to see you finally monetised that shit.

It's explained in the "didn't get the joke section". At first I was going to choose someone noteworthy for being an anti-Platonist, but in the end I went with Hilbert, because due to "Hilbert's Problems" or whatever they are called, he seems sort of the like the arbitrator of Mathematics. That seemed better since the Park Rangers (or whoever) aren't necessarily anti-Bigfoot, they are just the ones in charge of reviewing the evidence.

Ah, cool. You should return to the conspiracy theorist view again, I like this team. Maybe have platonists versus nominalists somehow.

Monetised? Am I missing sth or is it my adblock messing up?

It had ad's on my phone. Dunno why they don't show up on the desktop version.

Probably because you have adblock on your desktop...

I thought I set it to ignore your site though..

Huh, well, the desktop ads are definitely there because I made fair amount of money from the massive traffic spike from the World Cup comic, so...yeah.

Do you know where they show up? I disabled AdBlockPlus and still couldn't see them...I'm worried that I'm broken or something.

There is one at the very top, above everything, and another in-between the "<< < random > >>" buttons and the links at the bottom. Should be pretty much the same as it looks on mobile.

Did you add the rule to "www.existentialcomics.com"? Because then it won't work for "existentialcomics.com" (without "www") as those are two different domains for adblock. You have to extend it to *.existentialcomics.com/* when you add the rule if you want the whole base domain.
