Sponsored links on the default startpage? (lemmy.zip)

I have seen that Mozilla have implemented sponsored links on the startpagein Firefox.

At first I was slightly annoyed, but the more I think about it, the better I feel.

Firefox needs new revenue streams, they can't depend on Google any more, and if some small sponsored Links helps pay the bills without Google, I am all for it!

What do you think about it?

I wish they weren't needed, but I can see why they help. I don't quite get why anyone would pay for it though - from the ones I've seen so far, I'm having a hard time imagining how they would lead to a transaction occurring. Though for name recognition it probably helps.

As an aside, it's nice that you can just turn them off. Where do you see that nowadays?
