True, but beggars can't be choosers. You're clearly in need of cash.

As a user, I wouldn't care if there were a couple ads on there... it would not make my experience any worse.

I'm not saying it's the solution you absolutely should take, but I'd take a harder look at it until you have solid sponsorships booked for a significant amount of time. I don't think you'd lose any viewers by adding them in tastefully and you're getting the cash infusion you so desperately need.
