Every one of these discussions: “But without ad revenue a bunch of sites might vanish!”
Me: But not internet archive, Wikipedia, or Library Genesis, right? So 90ish% of the Web’s value is safe? Ok sounds good to me, let’s do this.
didn't know wikipedia has content creator, last time I check they called themselves "volunteer" while Wikimedia foundation spends money on DEI project
also why we stop at youtube videos, just pirate the games,steal music and movie etc
but don't cry when they goes bankrupt and stop releasing new games,movie etc anymore
we can just generate new art,music,movie,games etc with AI
after all, tech industries is created just for that
This is the core of the faith which communists have. We take everything and give nothing back and then wonder why nobody wants to create anything. Goods and services simply materialize out of thin air. It's a meteorological phenomena really.
Other business models are fine. I would support almost any amount of legal push-back on ads, though, and don’t care what happens to ad brokers.
