Add carbon ads or some other non intrusive ads like other opensource websites as a source of revenue to support the project

Hi,

Just a humble suggestion, since now that the project is 100% maintained by our generous maintainers as per the announcement https://discuss.lightbend.com/t/on-the-future-of-play-framework/8920, perhaps as an additional source of income to support our maintainers - perhaps the project documentation can add ads banner, for example, the Carbon ads - like what other popular opensource project - e.g. Bootstrap, Vue are doing? I think it's reasonable for the banners to be there since they are pretty subtle and not intrusive.

@JamesWilson3 thanks for the suggestion, it might make sense to have such ads on the right side, below the navigation, in our docs. I applied for carbon ads just now, just so we know what they will answer, how much revenue we could expect. However we still will discuss this in a steering committee meeting if that is something we want to have on our website.
