MODERATORS
The title is a little disingenuous. Claiming this is a property of the Boost app isn't correct... It's just an ad network.
I didn't make the statement that it's their property, I made the statement that it's being displayed through their application.
Boost loads adds from a shitty network though. Most open source apps don't do this stuff because nobody wants a Lemmy client to load ads; users only ever tolerate it in return for a more polished UI or whatever.
