It's not just ad-free, it's actively anti-corporate, anti-advertising, even anti-monetization. I would go so far as to say even anti-content in some ways. That's a cultural disconnect that goes beyond tooling.

    It's not just ad-free, it's actively anti-corporate, anti-advertising, even anti-monetization.

    There are upvoted positive posts and comments about

    1. the Switch 2 announcement (but not Nintendo's legal policy),

    2. the Framework advertising event last week,

    3. Valve/Steam/SteamOS/Steamdeck/Gabe Newell in general,

    4. Costco in general,

    5. EVs in general (excluding Tesla and Cybertrucks 😂),

    6. podcasts that solicit funding and carry advertising,

    7. anime and anime adjacent products,

    8. Lenovo's laptops,

    9. individuals selling stuff on Redbubble/Etsy/OnlyFans,

    10. subscription razor blade delivery (not from Amazon),

    11. and "voting with your wallet".

    It'd be cool if the platform made it easier for orgs to build and interact with a following here. Niches of users really like talking about them. That doesn't mean ads, it means features that would benefit regular users as well.
