Was just thinking how nice it is to be on social media and not be bombarded with ads!
Its amazing how this is the first site in years that I dont need to install blockers or scroll through bs or be so cynical with what I read.
Fellow Australians, rejoice in this little space we have from corporate bombardment
If it ever comes down to that. I’m not adverse to obvious and non-intrusive ads. It’s the fake shit that pretends to be organic that pisses me off. I feel it pollutes the entire social media experience with distrust.
I have no intention of every placing ads on aussie.zone. Should finances ever become an issue, I’ll send up a 🚩 with a stickied post.
For now, finances are fine 🙂
As someone who works with the advertisers, any concessions to them simply starts the process that snowballs into a nightmare scenario. There’s just too much money to be made. Small non-intrusive ads become short skippable ads becomes larger temporarily unskippable ads, becomes multiple short skippable ads becomes dominant intrusive ads and when the well runs dry there it becomes sponsored content and Guerilla advertising. Fuck em all. Cut them off at the neck and never let them in.
