Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads
BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 1 day agoHe’s not forcing you into a subscription model, he wants you to either allow ads or go to a subscription model.
You don’t need to pay 8 Euro a month, you just need to allow the ads.
It’s not broken to prevent ad blockers, we all got used to a system that wasn’t sustainable, and now we’re seeing what is actually required for sites and apps to survive.

I wouldn’t mind paying a few cents, but 8€ is way more than what he could possibly get out of the ads.
I wish a system like Flattr or even BAT could take off. Paying a few dollars a month to not get ads anywhere in a sustainable way seems like the way to go.
(Note: I seem to remember shady stuff about the BAT token but I do not know the details. Don’t incendiate me on that).
