Advertisers only want to advertise to paying customers, because free tier does not buy anything.
- pmontra 3y agoAdvertisers show ads to the large free tier of Facebook and Google. Furthermore everybody buy something.
- ben_w 3y ago> Furthermore everybody buy something Is practically unavoidable in a system like ours; but also not important in this context as there's an implicit "because it was advertised". One of the ways I'm weird: it's like I have a homunculus of the Marie Kondo meme before I'd even heard of her, telling me I don't really want to buy $thing, or even receive one as a gift, because it won't spark joy. As a result, my total expenses included rent, food, commuting, utilities, fun… literally everything, all comes to less than €1000/month on average.

- Timon3 3y agoMaybe save the indignation for when someone actually advocates for what you're describing? GP didn't say anything in that regard. Can you not handle any small criticism of our current system?
- Qwertious 3y agoWell, you see there are two options: the current system, or Stalinism. These are literally the only possible configurations for society.
- ben_w 3y agoYou're disgusted by the result of your own imagination about what I didn't actually write.
- sebzim4500 3y agoThat only matters if a significant portion of the userbase actually pays the fee. If only 0.01% of users pay the fee, then advertisers will be totally fine 'only' advertising to the poorest 99.99% of the population. See how people still pay for youtube ads despite there being a premium service to skip them.
