I just realized I’m taking my ad-free experience in Lemmy for granted. It’s refreshing to have a little corner of the internet that doesn’t slam you with advertising.

Can I pay with runescape gp?
Only if you promise to be my gf
Soon, when things go smoother, I absolutely wouldn’t mind either having ads or paying a low annual fee.
The problem with Reddit was seeking out vulture capital. Turning a small profit, enough to pay people something resembling wages, isn’t a bad thing.
There’s a bit of app in your ads.
Wow, I didn’t even notice that.
What a garbage C-team Reddit has, such a shame
obligatory “charge yo damn phone.”
Spez thinks that redditors are junkies who are hooked and can’t leave. It was easier than I thought it would be to leave. I only log in once a week for 5 minutes to delete any posts or comments they’ve restored against my will.
Yeah cool. Good way to caught your attention. Make ads bigger.
And make the app buggy so it mistake your scrolling with click
It is too crazy for a company as big as Reddit to make a pretty good app that will make you not want to install 3rd party ones? well, seems like it is…
the hilarious part is the entire Reddit app is built on top of Alien Blue, which used to be the de-facto best Reddit app ever. They bought the entire app out way back in 2014 and built the current slow, buggy, security-hole-infested clusterfuck right over the top of what used to be a good app. During the official app beta, every beta tester complained about every problem they still have- poor battery life, shitty performance, unintuitive and space-inefficient UI, excessive ad placement. Reddit made exactly zero changes as a result of this feedback. Nothing has ever been truely fixed.
They could have done literally nothing but put a tiny bit more advertising in to Alien Blue and made every other 3rd party app basically become irrelevant. But no. They are simply outright incompetent and driven by standard corporate middle managers chasing the next KPI.
Fuck Reddit. Fuck Reddit.

Recent comments from the CEO confirm it. Bloodless money-grubbing techbro shitbag.
Seriously thought for a second there when scrolling that lemmy had added ads
It was a horrible feeling man
The author of Lemmy is really tired of ads and big tech so will never happen. :)
Its FOSS as well, so even if they introduce ads for some insane reason, we can fork the software and de-federate the new “adiverse.”
Wait, I can redeem cash prizes?!?
You sure can! You can redeem your prize by selling your account to your closest advertiser!
