I’ll never use a client with ads of any type.

There's ones with ads?

Just like old geocities websites.

I second that sentiment.

Admonish the ad-filled. Off with their heads.

Can’t imagine going to an ad filled space at this point.

NEVERRRRRRR!!!!! 😂🤣

Sames. I'd rather pay a subscription fee.

Exactly

Yeah, even if you have to pay that's better. #ValueForValue

At least most of the clients are MIT licensed which would allow them legally to retain certain features.

I do want to clarify, I’m not against this. I’d pay happily. I just haven’t seen a successful run of it for an app. The closest I can think of would be enterprise software like RHEL or ElasticSearch with paid support.

Isn’t that what YouTube is asking us to do? Pay a subscription fees for no ads. Unlike Netflix and Disney where you pay for ads.

Stop being reasonable.

😞

I tried paying for YouTube but it wouldn't let me 🤷‍♂️

The thing about YouTube is that you are not really paying for any premium features, just paying NOT to see ads. To me that is not the same. If you ask for my money, provide some additional benefit besides not pushing your shitty attention hijacking crap on me.

Actually, you get higher bitrate videos, YouTube music premium is included, and the payout to creators you watch is close to 10x as much as they get from ad supported viewers.

Just sayin. 🥺

Then they are doing a really shitty job advertising the benefits 😂

This I agree with. 💯

Vic that's not what I'm talking about. I mean intentional ad placement. What you did is just zapvertising and I can tolerate it ;) unless it becomes annoying somehow then it's a mute.

Marketers will be marketing to our personal ai instead of to us soon. Self host your ai gang

oh great haha, let them ;)

All the more reasons to not verify any identities ever.. create bots, LOTS OF BOTS so any advertising attempt is foiled. Just have those bots click all the ads constantly

This is the way

Not even Zapvertistment?

That’s not a client feature as I see it. Anyone can add comments into zaps across many clients.

I don’t mind zaps with comments but if their message is shown on my notes and ranked like Damus did - not a fan of that.

Ah - didn't know Damus did that. Odd choice that one...

Never went back to Cable tv after Netflix!

Hear hear
