We should think about the advertising model before its too late and it gets shoved onto us. I think each community should get its own advertiser and they get a stick post on each post which is limited to 300 chars and one url.
Its simple, non intrusive and we can make it a bidding. 80 % of the proceeds should go to the maintenance of the instance, 20 % should go to the moderators of the instance.
Would warner brothers want this for 100 $ on movies ? I think so …
LOL, that was a great story. I’ve been running ublock origin for such a long time that I can’t even remember hating any brand with a passion like that. Oh, well I guess Meta deserves that throne for reasons besides direct advertising.
