They most certainly do.

🤡s like you are why we have ads.

It’s not that “businesses demand it,” it’s that people (like you) don’t have higher standards.

Consumerism.

good journalism costs money

How much money?

The problem with this “x costs money” rhetoric is that x is usually trying to maximize profit, not give a fair deal.

Because we’re farm animals.

Oh shit, I thought you said “AI” companies and was about to say “nahh, it’s the advertisers” lol.

Yes. Ads are a stain on our species and should be outlawed.

They are a waste of resources, clutter and manipulate our minds, and give a ridiculous advantage to those who already have the money to buy them.

Bro they’re a business and they need to make moneyyyyyy

You’re just being lazyyyyy

You should’ve studied harder in schooooolll

They earned thaaaaattttttttt

Suckers will believe anything to avoid admitting that they’re being suckered.

Farm. Animals.

That’s why they’re going to get neoliberals or conservatives.

The ruling class knows what we want and they are intentional in denying it from us.

Nope.

Alright, shill.

Who are you to say it isn’t?

Imagine if he was this enthusiastic about raising taxes on the people robbing the working class.

Oh, that’s good to know.

There is now no reason to care about it.

It’s a chicken and an egg problem. We don’t have to worry about what other people do, only ourselves.

I don’t know what upscrolled is, but if it’s not federated then who cares?

“What’s the point of creating something people want to use?”

This is why most of you aren’t designers or creators.

I just facepalm internally whenever I see someone recommending bluesky on the fediverse.

I know I should stop holding them to a higher standard, but still.

I guarantee you, a lot of these folks don’t care about the humor and only focus on supporting/attacking the right people.

Any joke that makes fun of conservatives is the best joke ever, while any joke that makes fun of a transperson should be censored.

I couldn’t disagree more.

It’s nice to see what was made when everyone wasn’t such a little bitch.
