That's a relief. I've been dreading the day when they introduce server-side adsm but it seems we're not there yet 😅 I'm not sure what they think they'll accomplish with this when it's A LOT less painful than turning off your adblocker and dealing with the ads, though. Maybe they're just trying random things to see what works.

I watch ad free, and screen off through the Brave browser. All good for now.

Same here, but do you notice how bad the algorhythm has become, at offering useful, interesting, or relevant vids..?

I’m curious what people would prefer for revenue generation models. Just subscription fees? A lot of folks also seem resistant to that as well.

Direct sponsoring has worked in the past with many open source projects (including lemmy.world). Could be closer to what Patreon does.
