Oh, you mean the multibillion dollar corporations? The ones that get more per minute than many business will get in their whole existence, not to mention any of us people? No, adblocking is a drop in the ocean for them, that has always been bullshit, same with piracy. What we’re seeing is the result of economical effects outside of all this, namely changes in interest rates, all the VCs and shareholders are now demanding the return of their investments at any cost. That’s why ALL of them are squeezing at the same time.

And about Lemmy instances? Absolutely! We cannot depend on the generosity of admins forever, and i’m OK with this.
