If your instance started showing ads, would you just leave to another instance? Do you see any way to fund the operation of an instance other than donations?

It depends on the number and type of ads… but honestly, the threshold at which the ad revenue would actually fund the instance would probably be too painful for me to bear.
I should be honest though and state that I fully believe that the advertising industry is a cancer in our society. Despite what it has taught us about our own psychology, I think we as a people would be better off if it didn’t exist.
