Well now I'm glad I deleted my entire history as well as my account. FUCK THAT. I haven't been on FB, Twitter or any of that other data grubbing bullshit in years.

I might need to address a GDPR delete request.

Jesus Christ Reddit just announce an sdk or that you're working on a way to get ads in third party apps. That would solve everything.

I would not use a third party app with ads, tho. Ads are a curse to the internet

Well I would say, we can't have our cake and eat it to. I mean admitted the option of a choice between a monthly subscription, and ads is pretty reasonable. But for the most part people seem pretty quick to go on a "no ads and no fees". idea. Obviously there's a point of implosion when it comes to demanding neither.

If the ads come from the same domain as the site you are viewing, pihole will not catch those ads. UBO will though.

Ugh.... That marketing language makes me cringe hard.

[–] taj@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah. It's about as marketing rich, research driven of drivel as it comes. Just... Ugh.

"You aren't the client, you are the product." Redditors are basically just cattle, just like every other for profit social media platform.
