We should direct everyone on Reddit to Lemmy. Then, (this is copy pasted, I’m not a bot) add an option to the third party apps for Lemmy so you can opt in to ads that support your instance and the platform. Force me to use your bullshit app so you can make more money? Fuck you. I came here from Reddit. But I’d opt in to ads to support something that is clearly better.
This is what fucks me off so bad. Tell me what I’m worth as a datapoint, and if I want to pay that directly to be left the fuck alone I should be able to.
So much this. I suspect there’s an issue around opt out making the platforms less appealing to advertisers. The people with disposable income to spend opting out of ads, might be exactly the ones advertisers want to reach.
And it would be on me if I want to donate money, or via ads or nothing at all.
After that we can see if that is enough or more active approach is needed.
We can even have an opt-in for NSFW ads, which would probably make more money. Most of the time I don’t mind, it is just important that I can switch it off.

Why can’t we just pay them with money? I block every ad I can, because everything is better without ads.
If there is no option for paying outside of using me as a datapoint, I’m going to be a freeloader.
Also, respectfully to all those here gathered, fuck reddit. It’s over. It doesn’t love us and never did.

That, actually, makes sense, it never crossed my mind.
More than that, it is trackers on which, probably, no one knows how much is worth.
No ads, ads are evil.
Feed me a donation link.
Id prefer some ads. No objection to then in rif, and let’s be honest- everything nsfw or news is an advert in some way.
I think we should try with opt-in ads.
