If it ever comes down to that. I'm not adverse to obvious and non-intrusive ads. It's the fake shit that pretends to be organic that pisses me off. I feel it pollutes the entire social media experience with distrust.
I have no intention of every placing ads on aussie.zone. Should finances ever become an issue, I'll send up a ๐ฉ with a stickied post.
For now, finances are fine ๐
Music to my ears Lodion :)
As someone who works with the advertisers, any concessions to them simply starts the process that snowballs into a nightmare scenario. There's just too much money to be made. Small non-intrusive ads become short skippable ads becomes larger temporarily unskippable ads, becomes multiple short skippable ads becomes dominant intrusive ads and when the well runs dry there it becomes sponsored content and Guerilla advertising. Fuck em all. Cut them off at the neck and never let them in.
