With the recent moves from #Twitter, #Reddit, and even #Youtube, I think it’s becoming clear that ads are not a sustainable business model in the long run (and yes, I know I run a YouTube channel funded by ads 😅)

I took a look at a few examples, at how this decline is also making the web worse for everyone, at alternative platforms, and tried to imagine what an internet without ads to fund content creation and big platforms could look like:

@thelinuxEXP Might want to check out floatpane (from the crazy Canadian), might be an option? As for giving even one dime to Youtube/Alphabet, that's something I'll never do, so I signed up for your patreon instead, just leave my name of the end credits, that's cringe :P

@AmonTheMetalHead They only seem to take on bigger channels, they denied me 3 times already 😂

Granted it was a while ago, and the channel had grown a lot since then.

@thelinuxEXP can't hurt, I've got no idea which tubers are big or small out of those I follow :)
