Supporting any sort of modern advertising scheme is negative in my opinion. Even if you are "just making money to make more music" you are also promoting the system which allows you, as well as many more and less talented music-makers, to be bought and sold like commodities by corporations who treat other human beings as "consumers" and view advertising and profit as more important than future human potential, reform, and the environment. To be so blatantly supportive of such activities seems rather naive. If you are interested in these sorts of things, I would recommend reading Robert McChesney's "Rich Media, Poor Democracy: Communication Media in Dubious Times" for a much better perspective.
