I can't remember to follow one of those ads - so, the purpose of it it's an open question to me.
We now see how the mentality "everything of information is available for free in the net" has it's drawbacks. The mass tests of Roger Cigala are only possible because he runs a lens rental business and knows more about repairs of all lenses than one single manufacturer does. And he really generates clicks on his site.
It's a lucky circumstance that Nikon is currently following their "more expensive, but cheaper made" path. So their lenses currently are of no big interest to me, the real good new ones are far beyond my budget and also needs. A Tamron or Sigma being good on a Canon will not be much worse on a Nikon, so in a way you shoulder all this efforts alone, Klaus.
I can see you being demoralized and if it makes you feel better I can leave the jokes about delayed tests away. The question is, is PZ for you worth the work? If so, then please come up with a different financial model, don't wait until you get no more revenue. I don't know about others, but I'm not interested in you becoming poor
