I disagree. The layout seems really tight, and hard to separate content from navigation and advertisements.

In my opinion the ads and donate button make this site feel insincere and possibly even spammy. What is the author's motivation? To make a positive influence and educate, or to gain traffic and make a profit?

There are already trust issues that many people have with w3schools. If I wanted to use this site as a reference or recommend it to others I'd like to have the confidence that quality, accuracy, and reputation are the highest priority. If the author is going to try to monetize this site, great! I just think it would be a lot more effective to tastefully tweak the layout to make a cleaner distinction between content, advertisements, and navigation.
