To be fair, free content costs time and/or money to produce. But it would be nice to have more donation-funded websites like Wikipedia, Mastodon and Lemmy gain traction.
True, but modern advertisement is almost always intended to deceive. Shitty mobile game ads that don’t even show the actual game’s content, advertisements for complete scams to get rich quick, etc. It’s all some ploy to get people to go download some app so it can collect your data to sell to advertisers or effectively steal your money by misleading you.
