I simply said that it's a mistake to think that selling their traffic/ad space is the best option for all the webmasters. There are many kinds of sites out there.

I also have a website where I sell traffic. And I also own some where I never in a million years would let random ads/popunders to appear.
A site has to give more value than its annoyance to maintain traffic numbers. Otherwise, it's a constant game of dropping more traffic on a site that doesn't interest people. The Big Tubes do this best, GFY is further down the list. But here it's possible to sell porn. Would we stay if it kept opening extra tabs every time we clicked?
