Dude. There are different types of ads. Small ad banners which don’t affect normal posts is not an issue for me. I am getting a good experience so this is the way I am going to pay for it.
There are umpteen services that run on donations
A lot of them when the user base has grown, wasn’t sustainable and also got closed down and moved to subscription.
If any selection of the free content network I’m a part of isn’t showing me the content I want it’s an intrusion.
You can pay for subscription or use another app. It’s fine. Other devolopers who don’t charge a single bit now will change it in the future. Who is mad to support an app without getting any kind of benefit. There are some open-source developers who do that. Still.
If you think ads are non intrusive we have different definitions.

There are umpteen services that run on donations, telling yourself ads are necessary is the same deal with the devil as the public Internet.

I’m here on the fediverse because ads are poison.
Knowing my neighbors are swigging more of that shit doesn’t make me feel any better.
