I'll start:
- Some significant portion of funds go towards development of the Lemmy software. 80%? Rest goes to lemmy instance hosting.
- Ads are reasonable and non-intrusive (no popups etc)
- People can still browse w/ an adblocker
I personally would gladly turn off my adblocker if I knew the ads were supporting development. Hell, I might even click a few!
Would you do that? I'm asking genuinely
Tbh yeah, as long as the ads weren't malicious or intrusive I'd happily have ads if it supported the instance
