Comment Please Explain what is wrong with their ad idea? (Score 1) 63

How are companies supposed to make money or at least afford web servers and programmers if everyone wants no advertising and doesn't want to pay a subscription fee? Are servers and programmers free? Do you only want the big companies to have websites? I like the idea of privacy respecting ads as a way for sites to be able to afford their programmers and web servers. without some form of revenue from sites you are only going to go to big companies or sites that sell your personal information. AI, can we not?!?

This is a problem intentionally created by companies. They want scheduled obsolescence so they can make more money. And now they also want everything to have a subscription so they can make even more money AND enforce the obsolescence but not update the devices for more than a couple years. What happened to I buy a TV and hook up my device. They every few years I replace the device and not a whole TV. I do not want to throw away every electronic item in my house every couple of years.
