Summary

This PR removes the hosted sponsorship platform landing page and its associated content file from the repository.

Changes

  • Deleted ethicalads-theme/templates/ea/landing-pages/sponsorship-platform.html - the template file containing the sponsorship platform landing page with hero section, feature cards, pricing information, and FAQ
  • Deleted content/pages/landing-pages/sponsorship.md - the content/metadata file that defined the sponsorship platform page slug, URL routing, and contact form configuration

Details

The sponsorship platform landing page was a complete marketing page that included:

  • Hero section with call-to-action for early access
  • Three feature cards highlighting simple integration, increased sponsorship value, and community focus
  • Example integrations and social proof sections
  • FAQ with pricing and money-back guarantee information
  • Contact footer for lead generation

This removal suggests the sponsorship platform offering may have been deprecated, consolidated, or moved to a different location.

The hosted sponsorship platform beta is no longer offered, so remove
the inbound landing page and its template.

I'm good with this change. Are we thinking of repurposing this into the sort of "sales for your OSS project's sponsorship" that we've been discussing?

The HTML validator caught a real issue though that we have a dead link to the sponsorship in a past newsletter.

Mostly just trying to remove the spam inbounds I keep getting from it. I think if we build a premium network, building out the marketing around it is the next step, and this is just needlessly confusing.

Basically I think we should consider a "SAAS" ads platform a deadend, remove the distraction, and try to focus on building something new and useful.

This failure is now a Node failure. I think something changed out from under us. We probably need to upgrade Node anyway.
