This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Yes, you're describing the modern internet. Large swathes of content are locked behind a sign-in now: Facebook / Instagram (anything Meta), twitter/X, Discord, even most news sites are putting paywalls up.
You mean like this platform? The one that is slightly more complicated to sign up for and thus is entirely off of the average person's radar? I haven't seen much in the way of profit motive on anything in the fediverse, and maybe it will stay that way for a while, but without the level of user tracking that is available on other platforms, it is likely that ad revenue is off the table.
