Unpopular opinion: I'm fine with ads as a form for instances to sustain them selves. (self.lemmyworld)

As long there are no invasive data collection and such, I really wouldn't mind having some ads if that means making instances having more resources to grow and sustain them selves.

I think it's a much better idea to normalize donations to Lemmy instances.

It's highly problematic to bring advertisers into the fray. As others have mentioned, with ads comes tracking and targeting. Data used for unintended or unknown purposes. It seems antithetical to the community most are trying to build here.
