Do you think it applies in this case? Do you think the incentive (a few $ at most) drove the author into a corner?
At the same time, I don't take issue with the title -- I don't read it as abdicating responsibility. The author knows he can remain ad-less. It's just a catchy way to say "I had to make these changes to get approved by ad-sense."
