Jesus Christ guys, there's like one inline ad every 30 posts. Quit bitching
black square with ad blockers. still i don't like these black squares
I don't get black squares, all I see are posts. I use DNS66.
i literally blocked like all google domains.
they turned to black swuares after I opene the app once without a dns blocklist iirc.
I guess I'm just lucky then? I use Steve Black's host file in DNS66.
Found out I don't see ads because I'm using small cards.
They have every right to use the FOSS clients if they don't want ads and don't want to pay anything. Thing is there's no reason to complain about a paid client existing. It doesn't take away choice, it adds choice. FOSS devs will want to implement features they see in paid clients and raise the bar for paid client to add more features and then repeat. That's a great thing for users. All this choice will lead to better and better clients, both FOSS and paid. What's important is that lemmy is an open platform meaning we will always have choice. More choices are a good thing.
Repeat after me. Ads are EVIL! Just sell the app, don't offer an add supported tier, especially for a front-end to an open-source platform.
