Was just thinking how nice it is to be on social media and not be bombarded with ads!

Its amazing how this is the first site in years that I dont need to install blockers or scroll through bs or be so cynical with what I read.

Fellow Australians, rejoice in this little space we have from corporate bombardment

    Here me out

    The only way Lemmy can remain this way, and be able to afford the rising cost of server upkeep is to rely on ad revenue generated by bots, generated on dead websites. Now ofcourse the people running the servers would need to also own these ad riddled websites.

    The way it would work, is droves of AI get trained to surf the internet, click on click bait, look at ads, and simply simulate human foot traffic.

    This money would then go towards server upkeep in the fediverse.

    It’s kind of a loophole.
