I am very much against advertisements in media. If a service doesn’t come with an ad-free option then I don’t subscribe at all.
I am not as radical when it comes to advertisements in the cities. 100% no to billboards. But if a local restaurant wants to advertise pictures of their dishes at their location (not across the town), that’s fine with me. As long as ads are local to the business, tasteful and in limited size/quantity I’d be ok with that.
- npteljes 3y agoI think I'd be happy with innocent things like your example as well. One could even argue that ads are useful even, in the right context. But I have no idea how to go about regulating that.
- 404mm 3y agoExactly. Any any kind of written rules (or laws) will just immediately become a subject to interpretation, pushing the limits and exploiting loopholes. As usual, a few ruin it for everyone.
- binthere 3y agoNot everyone has $$$ to spend on a subscription service and they would locked out of content. Ads are necessary to promote accessibility of content in my opinion.
- 404mm 3y agoI agree with ad-sponsored or subsidized content, I just want there to be an ad-free option for those who put value in not having to see them.
- npteljes 3y agoThey could just pirate content, as many have always done. But I see your point, ads can be an acceptable form of payment. I have seen this in a mobile game for example, where you can buy the in-game currency with real money, and you can also get some if you watch ads, fill surveys etc. I'm sure it's abused to hell and back, with telemetry and so on, but I could get on top that right after I ban all other ads.
