@acs Maybe, but again, nobody here wants ads. The clearest advantage of this place over all the for-profit ones is that it has no ads and I hope it stays like that for ever.
Also, it's not that we need ads, there are other ways to support our instances, like donations, contributing some time, funding by grants or other no-strings-attached sources.
The attention-sucking, consumerist, privacy-invading ad system that people are getting so used to is not the only way to go!
@elduvelle @acs @Mikaleb @pixelfed Agreed. I'm willing to pay to have ads stay the hell away from me
