If there was a premium option that people could pay for then they are the customer; if you are using it for free you are the “premium option,” in most cases, the open source world is different though. When Reddit was first a thing there where many different clients you could use some had ads some did not, when Reddit became more of a thing they turned off “the fire hose” to all the other apps you could use. Why did they do that? Well your eyeballs are worth more than whatever fee the apps were paying to use the fire hose.
It does not mater if you believe the ads do not affect you or not, they do. Don’t for a second think that oh they can try and make money off of me but I am not paying attention. The ad marketing companies have files on everyone who uses credit or debit cards then all the services they are signed up to along with every other thing attached to those services. Then you are being tracked so the ad market can build up things about who you are and how you fit in the world. We live in a capitalist world everything is about money, if you use Reddit you are paying a US company.
Read my other comments.
It's not about that. It's about prioritizing and making an impact.
If we could crash the US ad market in Canada we would be hurting them a lot. Remove yourself as much as you can from the US economy.
That's exactly what I'm saying and doing.
Thank you.
You are not saying or doing that you are saying keep your eyeballs on Reddit, to tell others about Lemmy. Giving Reddit your eyeballs is paying Reddit.
Sure buddy. Take care.
