Hear me out, I know no one likes ads, probably one of the main reasons why people used 3rd party apps for reddit. I can’t exactly donate to help kbin, however if there was a setting I could toggle to opt in viewing ads to support kbin and things like server costs, I’d do it, in hopes for improvement of the website.
What do ya’ll think?
Edit: Y’all have made very good points why that is a bad idea, possibly puts pressure on kbin, and well, is selling our data. Likley governed by cooperations that are once again greedy.
I think atleast for now we should try to stick to donation and ad-free ways to support kbin, thank you for your insights and opinions!
Ads only put pressure on sites to conform to their standards and wants. Even Google has felt the impact of coordinated advertising backlash, like with YouTube’s Adpocalypse.
That said I absolutely agree we should support the site in any way we can, which is also why I’ll put the link here so you can donate to @ernest for maintaining the site. Servers aren’t cheap!
