As long there are no invasive data collection and such, I really wouldn't mind having some ads if that means making instances having more resources to grow and sustain them selves.

No. Please no.

Internet ads exist to track users, and all those tracking pixels can also cause performance issues. Ads basically don’t even make that much money per impression and for the most part just frustrate people. It’s a lose/lose for everyone.

Yes, caveat that I think ads in general shouldn't exist. I don't know if Lemmy is the right place to begin a war on the ad economy, though.

Edit: Not OP, just someone who agrees with the basic premise.

I will gladly donate, just please don’t dirty this beautiful thing we have going here with ads every other post.

Ads are the bane of my existence. The only thing in my life that almost makes my blood boil.

I apologize if I’m offending anyone, but I hate ads. πŸ™‚

Sounds like something an ad would say... Hmmm?

(FYI I'm not OP)

The good news is that ads will never be on every instance.
