No. Please no.
Internet ads exist to track users, and all those tracking pixels can also cause performance issues. Ads basically donโt even make that much money per impression and for the most part just frustrate people. Itโs a lose/lose for everyone.
Yes, caveat that I think ads in general shouldn't exist. I don't know if Lemmy is the right place to begin a war on the ad economy, though.
Edit: Not OP, just someone who agrees with the basic premise.
I will gladly donate, just please donโt dirty this beautiful thing we have going here with ads every other post.
Ads are the bane of my existence. The only thing in my life that almost makes my blood boil.
I apologize if Iโm offending anyone, but I hate ads. ๐
(FYI I'm not OP)
The good news is that ads will never be on every instance.
Oh hey I knew you werenโt OP. Sorry if I sounded mad in my response. Not mad at OP either! I just really dislike advertising and all the scummy practices that go with it.
Sounds like something an ad would say... Hmmm?
