I prefer “list” view over grid view. Switching to grid view shows six videos before the break, but significantly less information about the video.

Ads are horrible and always ruins the experience severely, since there are never enough ads on a page for the producer to be happy.
I’m not against being a subscriber but I only do that for services that are extreamly useful, like search and email.
The point of Lemmy as a federated platform is that the cost is shared between many people. If hundreds of instance admins pay 10 dollars per month, it’s easily manageable. But if one instance becomes huge and needs to pay 10000 dollars per month, there is an issue for that instance, not the Lemmy network.

You will get paid for your work on windows or mac if you make good software. Go ahead and create.
Content doesn’t cost to create. Users are doing to for free as you can see. People have other reasons to contribute to a platform than making money. It’s not the meaning of life you know.
This is what you don’t understand I think… That a technical platform can have other goals than how to produce profit for it’s owners.

I don’t get this argument. You already have windows and Mac ecosystems where people pay for everything and you have the professional sales guys and big tech being fully invested in sucking all value they can from it all.
Ads in operating systems, spying on users, ads in search engines, telemetry in products, everything you want yourself because you want companies to make money from users.
You have Facebook, Instagram, Google, Microsoft, Meta etc etc. They are all there for you.
So maybe use one of the existing platforms which is fully monetized? Use programs developed for those platforms? Don’t bring that shit into the Linux world.

That tracking and those walled gardens will come to Linux if you make it a highly profitable platform to develop apps for, or allow ads into our software.
I don’t know why that’s so hard to understand when you have examples right in front of your eyes.
