minus-squareChrisLicht@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoMaybe this is the equivalent of defending ethical capitalism, but an ad-supported model can enable poor users to access content they couldn’t afford if it were paid.
minus-squareDogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down3·1 year agoNo, that’s just how it appears through the advertising revenue model. Bear in mind this model has been actively developed over the last 20+ years. Imagine of other models enjoyed that kind of attention. Consumers pay for ads in product costs. Access for poor people is a myth.

I personally use an ad-blocker, but I only hate ads because they can be a vector for malware. P.s. I also use StartPage as my search engine of choice.
