There are no ads on Lemmy anyway. Why are you being asked to pay for that?
Some app devs are setting up their own ad networks, injecting inline ads similar to how reddit operated. I know everyone needs to eat, but it's kinda lame when most lemmy instances the apps connect to are operated and funded purely by the generosity of random system admins.
I suspect most are using Google built in AD network for ease of use.
I don't mind using ads or payment to remove them for apps. Some of those Devs spend a lot of time working on them.
Well, sure Google ads or whatever. I just meant it's independent from the Lemmy platform and instance.
