@unktheunk Yeah that's fair. IMO ads would be great if they were something people went to search through rather than something forced onto them. E.g. I like watching movie trailers when figuring out stuff to watch, or product reviews/ads when choosing between devices. I even don't mind when online stores learn my preferences when I search on them and give me suggestions related to what I like.
@mauve or if they were unintrustive, like page spreads in magazines, like an ad in an unused corner of the webpage. I think people doing creative work is good, and that donations/grants/subscriptions wouldnt be enough to support the volume of work that I think should be made
I dont think it should be legal for online stores to track your preferences if you havent made an account tho
