That's on the creators tho, not the platform I feel like it's not an argument against paying for the platform, at least not when there are plenty of videos that don't do baked in sponsor ads.
Edit: if you exclusively watch content with baked in ads, I can see it from a purely consumer end point of view.
To some extent I can understand it, it's very normal to have both of those things just for the sake of it in today's media, to that guy it might look even more rampant than to you and I.
Similarly, I personally like manga/anime but kinda hate how fanservice gets inserted with little to no consideration on how it affects a scene (and it seems to happen in most works aimed at a male demographic, can't speak for all genres), if I want to see some actual skin I can always look up porn.

I wonder if there would be that much worry about it if it didn't taste like shit.

I've noticed a large portion of the posts in Lemmy are haphazardly cropped into squares, is a Lemmy reader app in particular that does that to submitted images?

I think for most it was just a feel-good move, like carbon offsetting or belittling people for using plastic straws, once the idea of getting serious about it was put on the table, suddenly people started rationalizing the abandonment of any "efforts" they made.
I don't think anyone changed their minds aside from maybe a few honest and naive folks (I might be one, didn't think twice about how pointless it was to promise I'd be back until I saw a video from Luis Rossman slapping me with reality, though I was planning on an indefinite blackout because that's what I thought the plan .)
I'm just checking out Lemmy for the first time so I'm not up to speed entirely on how everything works, but isn't the point of the system that you chose where to create or move your account so you can choose a community that already blocks stuff? I personally chose one that had nothing blocked and was blocked by nothing to start and intend to move to somewhere else if I see the need.
Yeah, it's a forum, it should be more like a cafe in terms of anyone talking to anyone, regardless of who that person is.
For big personalities and stuff every time it mattered in reddit, I saw proof that they're them (ama's usually)
