I remember when reddit also used to show 0, then it was one ad, people lost their shit, and reddit said don’t worry, it’s just one.
Side note: I never cared about ads on reddit. I cared about the loss of down votes, their treatment of the RES folks, their shitty app, their shitty hosting, etc.
But this raises the bigger issue, how do we pay for this? I’m on kbin, I have trust issues with money, but nobody is even asking for money low key Wikipedia style.
I’ve said about YouTubers if they made their own/joined a Peertube instance. At least I know the money wouldn’t be going to money hungry CEO’s, but directly to running their server or supporting them in SOME significant way
I think curiosity stream is a bit different, but nebula and float plane are both creator run and owned and as far as I’m aware both are good to the people making content for them.
I saw a blog recently that had a subscription for a tracking free experience. I just thought it was strange because I either had to consent to all tracking or pay
in the first rounds of the adblock wars, there were several cases of users paying the subscription, whitelisting the site, and immediately being hit with malware …
I love that Unlock Origin shows “0” instead of “146” blocked domains while scrolling Lemmy as opposed to Reddit
Mine now has a “2” on lemmy.world due to blocking cloudflareinsights. The cost of DDOS protection I suppose.
Small price to pay 🫡

Isn’t that kind of like what Nebula and Curiosity Stream are?
