This package is quite popular, and if you are so desperate to get money and keep the package free and bother literally thousands with 15 lines of messages, then why not go all the way and introduce actual advertisements, i am sure there exists a package for that, that could pull google adverts directly to the command line. Untapped market i say.

Perfect idea. But we can go further - advertising in the browser console, loading google adverts to sites which use core-js and cryptominer in the code of the library 💯

@Arcanemagus sorry, your message is offtopic, you could write it in #548. It's a thread about replacing the postinstall message with a real advertisement.

But guys, this package is not a spacial snowflake, there are many open source packages and if everybody starts to put advertisements it will be impossible to work.

@zloirock I think you should remove the terminal advertisement messages because it makes you look desperate. Readme already contains enough info for supporters.

Mind you, at any time any open source package can be forked and ads can be removed this way. I'm not threatening, just saying.

@revelt Forking is one thing, maintaining is another ;)

@revelt please, don't say me what I should do -) Feel free to fork and maintain it - I will only be glad that core-js maintenance now it's not my problem. Also, one more time, it's not a correct place for comments like this, if you wanna write it - please, write it in #548.
