@retreat3926 @Bicyclejohn If that really is the case, then there needs to be a happy medium between intrusive ads that uglify a UI and spammy nonsense that plagues corporate social media. But even then, a lot of people came here to get away from corpo spam, and will not take kindly or lightly to ads suddenly appearing on their feeds (and some instances have and will outright ban it)
@fermuch That’s a good point, I guess it’s up to the individual to decide what or who they trust most
