I'll start:
- Some significant portion of funds go towards development of the Lemmy software. 80%? Rest goes to lemmy instance hosting.
- Ads are reasonable and non-intrusive (no popups etc)
- People can still browse w/ an adblocker
I personally would gladly turn off my adblocker if I knew the ads were supporting development. Hell, I might even click a few!
Virtually nobody opts in, and power users opt out. If someone is running ads, they presumably want to make money, and they'll only be making money if it's on by default
Yes. That is the point.
exactly. This is the only type of ads I'd tolerate
