if you are ok with that exchange then the model works for you. i am merely putting into words what i see.

if you are satisfied with the exchange of your time and attention for ads when you are seeking entertainment then it must be okay, for you. i don't pay much attention to them either.

to me it diminishes overall post quality when people only engage more when they're paid. i could post a picture of nonsense and say i will pay x sats and people won't care but will engage for sats.

it creates behaviours that become normal and acceptable and it's why we are so much low quality content. like you said, it is now a human problem. should it be? probably not.
