A little bird told me you’re in cognizance of the way to finance online journalism without depending on ads and subscriptions of readers. That’s a good news. Care to share how?
Comment on So much for that dream.

If you can’t do it without ads then it shouldn’t be done.
Fuck.
People are brainwashed.

This is a very naive take.

Nice to see you revealing your naivety. That’s what I’ve intended to do in the first place.

There’s nothing wrong with advertising in of itself, society has lived with advertisements for goods and services for a long time. Unless you’re unreasonably susceptible to suggestion you should be able to safely navigate them. Some sites take the mick with how they present them but they have to make money somehow.

There is something wrong with advertising in and of itself. Imagine a sphere of all information available to humans, and inside that sphere there’s a corruption of information that’s deceitful, self-promoting for its originators, in excess of what people actually need to know about specific companies or products, and based on manipulation techniques and de-facto brainwashing. The only defense is that it’s a “necessary evil” because of the perverse economic structures in our society.

I’m defending the right for people to make a profit from their labour 🤷♂️ even if ads aren’t my preference either
