Do you ever step off the ivory towers of idealism to the earth where capitalism controls everything?
You want software engineers to suddenly spontaneously create a socialist society so they don’t need to be paid to survive?
Ah. You’ve just met the Don Quixote of the FOSS World.
When the redditors jump to Lemmy, suddenly they become ads conscious.
How? Could you at provide a credible cause?
The question is, why do they need to show personalized ads?
To increase Click-through rate (CTR). If they don’t personalise, by showing ads blindly, the rate would be significantly lower. Not that I agree personalised ads, but that’s the standard approach in the industry nowadays.
Wikipedia is not a company.
It’s very smooth. I’ve not found lemmy apps this smooth other than Sync. So, I can say, we have a worthy contender.
By your logic, all those open source companies (e.g. linux-based like canonical, redhat etc) shouldn’t even exist. I wonder how they are even going to survive if they can’t get somekind of monetary returns.
I don’t see the need to mention reddit. It’s like saying my current bf is better than my ex while spying on the ex.
Have a closure. Move on.
You forgot article 10.
