@dfox I will support it (the idea at least)
-
-
@dfox That's very kind of you, no idea if I would use it but support the fact you guys need to make money to make this whole effort sustainable.
-
@dfox whatever you do, never introduce ads, any other form of money grab is fine
-
@Qchmqs what's wrong with having a free ad supported version with the option to pay to remove them?
-
@hourd ads are what's wrong
-
@Qchmqs may I ask why you feel this way?
-
@hourd ads suck sweating monkey balls, period
-
@Qchmqs when done right they aren't that horrible...
-
@Dacexi I agree but very few people have successfully implemented ads.
-
@nblackburn i think reddit does it in a good way.
-
@Dacexi it's one of the better implementations.
-
@hourd I think having some cohesion in your design is important.
-
@nblackburn that's why you pay to remove the ads :)
-
@hourd I disagree, you can have it both ways
-
@nblackburn true you can have it both ways. Lowers the incentive to pay to remove the ads to some degree
-
@nblackburn Instagram tried to do that a bit as well. It's less annoying but still a bit intrusive.
As far as I know, no way to disable than either -
@hourd Depends, i get what you are saying but simply integrating them instead of them feeling bolted on make them tolerable making everyone benefit from their existance .
-
@hourd That's what i mean, way less annoying but annoying enough for the incentive to be there.
So if anyone has visited slant.co they will know the website is overrun with this shit...
What the flying fuck is wrong with these people?
