  • What would happen if all users start using adblockers, or the value of ads starts to fall?

    I do not support the current, ad-driven, model of the internet. However, since the costs of subscriptions are increasing, while salaries are going downhill, it is apparent that ads is (seemingly) the only viable choice for now.

    In the economy we currently live in, all of world’s wealth is slowly moving to ad networks.

    Even donation driven models are currently straggling. Just look at the fediverse. The people donating to their instances are not enough to sustain them.

    Capitalism has absolutely destroyed everything. The greed of stakeholders has milked most people. At some point people will stop buying the useless things or services promoted via advertisements, just because they will not be able to afford them. Then, no subscriptions, no point of advertising, no donators, no people hosting fediverse instances, just world hunger.
