@MOOMANiBE

the thing for me is like I've never before been in a situation where the ads were for things I was interested in and my clickthru rate on these is like 10,000% higher than on normal ads because most normal ads are like for gambling mobile games or the concept of a brand or something else that just makes me instantaneously want to get the fuck away from it

Which is to say:

  • I do not mind ads when they are both relevant and not actively being forced on me, and in fact seek them out because they are relevant

I really hope there ends up being a way to get these served in, like, the sidebar or regular feed, even an opt-in one, because once the novelty wears off I really don't see myself continuing to consciously make the effort to check the ads

This is the magic of community ads instead of megacorp ads. I've found my favorite webcomics through that model.

Artists asking for commissions are also advertising, the good version has been here all along but it's usually just not supported in this way. The rare time an artist can work with a platform, rather than fighting it tooth and nail.
