I’ll start:

  • Some significant portion of funds go towards development of the Lemmy software. 80%? Rest goes to lemmy instance hosting.
  • Ads are reasonable and non-intrusive (no popups etc)
  • People can still browse w/ an adblocker

I personally would gladly turn off my adblocker if I knew the ads were supporting development. Hell, I might even click a few!

    Bro, who are these people trying to normalise ads? Do y’all work for ad-companies or have you been brainwashed enough to believe ads are the only way? Ads are a braindead problem for another problem looking for a solution.

    Fuck ads. Write that 50 times. If isn’t through your skull after 50, write another 50 and repeat until it is. Fuck ads.

        I get that you don’t understand the ads business is propped up on halfwits like you, but you do realize that this isn’t reddit, right?
