Hard agree (with you, that is).
It's just another case of people confusing "What I personally want" with "What actually leads to a sustainable business/ecosystem".
I honestly think people get confused about this because we are so accustomed to getting what we want.
- manuelmoreale 2y agoI honestly do not understand this point. If they offer me a 50/year sub that is not sustainable without extra ads then adjust the fucking price. Set a price to make it sustainable. Offer a 50/year plan with limited ads and a 200/year with no ads and be upfront about why those are the costs. It’s not rocket science.
- int_19h 2y agoThere's no "right to have a sustainable business", sorry.

- Mindwipe 2y ago"The customer" as a broad concept is perfectly fine with advertising, which would make you wrong.
- alkonaut 2y agoWhat I want is incompatible with a lot of businesses sustaining themselves. That doesn't change anything in how I think regulation or technology should work here. I think we should have both technological change and regulatory change in the online ad industry that would wipe out a large chunk of the ecosystem.
