@mcc It is easy to see why wealthy privileged people would prefer a web without advertising, where they can simply pay for the content they consume. And for most of us here on Mastodon, the amount of money we'd need to give up for accessing all of the content we care about through a payment model is probably trivial. And in many ways would be a preferred experience (certainly would be for me. €50/month and no more ads. Hell yeah.).

However to most people using the web.. that is a lot.

@mcc 'I understand why Google is lying to me to protect their own business, but Firefox is supposed to be a nonprofit.'

This is a question you asked. I attempted to answer it. Mozilla's first and foremost mission is a web open and accessible to all. That is a phrase prone to interpretation obviously. But in my view, at least, that means a web rich with content people don't need to have money to access. And that, sadly, means meadurable ads. Preferrably with preserved privacy.
