A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah I’m done having ads shoved in my face constantly. Corporations ruin everything and this was just the push I needed to remove one more attack vector from my life.
How hard if it to offer a nominally feed as free experience?
There seems to be a misconception by a lot of corporates that shoving ads down users throats will make the users want what is advertised.
Personally, I go out of my way to avoid anything that are shown to me intrusively.
The reality is that ads work. That's why they even exist and companies pay so much for them. The safest way to not be influenced by them is to not see them.
Block them, skip them, use ad free media
