Unpopular opinion: I'm fine with ads as a form for instances to sustain them selves. (lemmy.world)

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.

Dude just throw them a cent (and I mean quite literally, a penny). People really overestimate how little profitable ads are in the year of our Lord 2023, specially for how much a PITA they are.

The Apollo dev gave recently some GREATLY optimistic estimates of how much Reddit earns per user, around 12 cents per month. Yeah no, I prefer donating twelve cents thank you very much.
