Adverisiments on Lemmy (self.casualconversation)

Servers cost money to upkeep. So owners of big instances could start posting, ads, pin them and ban other users posting ads or delete their posts. This is obviously almost the worst case scenario. I feel that it wouldn't happen in the near future, as Lemmy grows to become a larger platform. I haven't seen this type of ads on Reddit so is there something stopping this?

I don't see them going the "Promoted post" or pinned ads route. Maybe some ads in the sidebar if necessary.

Sidebar makes sense. It's less invasive and user alienating
