Wherever I go, I often see the sentiment “This website has ads, so it’s trash” pop up in conversations. And honestly I don’t quite get why. 90% of the internet has always had ads, you just scroll past them and mind your business. At least they’re personalized now so you can pick a topic you like instead of diapers and miscellanous spammy trash as there once were.

Because I can’t go two minutes without someone trying to sell me something, and it’s infuriating. I can’t even browse Lemmy without someone spamming my feed with their shitty Lets Play videos, or some random selfhosted project posted by the company who made it.
It’s disingenuine, and is to me one of the single largest reasons I’ve switched over to decentralized platforms.
