We all hate it, but for every one of us who will cancel there’s ten more who will just keep paying no matter how bad it gets. Just takes one show and a lack of motivation to self host a solution, and these companies own every popular show and nearly the entire pipeline of creation. Advertisements work so well everybody is trying to put them everywhere to make more money. It’s just that simple. Reddit is effectively full vertical video and photo content if you browse the site without logging in, because a few second video format is enough to slip in a quick ad without triggering people as much as a long format ad does, like infomercials of yore. If we want the ads gone we need to regulate them away. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] WYLD_STALLYNS@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 6 months ago This really opens a new niche for people to help newbies setup self hosting. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TeddE@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago Really itching to try that golden goose recipe. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Rothe@piefed.social 4 points 6 months ago The morons are the people willing to pay for ads.
