OP was taking about Tumblr, but I think it applies even more to the Fediverse: users need to develop an ethos of paying to support the sites they use. Otherwise advertisers pay the bills and call the shots.

    tbh yeah its sad. probably not going to be fixed ever though. When people wanted to do society differently you used to be able to just talk about how things aught to be , gather similarly minded people , and fuck off and make a new town somewhere else. Itd be nice if that freedom still existed in the world.
