Every time I go to the ATM to get cash it shows me an ad for a service and the options are "Yes" and "No thanks."

I am forced to choose one. I am forced to thank them for showing me an ad before they give me my own money.

Right? I don't understand why people on the fediverse are getting excited about this. At best, Reddit will have admins to insta-wipe anything objectionable. At worst, Reddit will point to the increased engagement as a sign that the protesters gave up and came back.

Them: “How do people even make money on there then?”

You: "The same way I'm making money off of you now." (pause) "I don't. We're just friends."

I mean... forbidding any discussion of unpopular actions taken by Russia is pretty much an example of promoting their own views.
