    I don’t mind ppl talking about brands. I rarely saw it even on reddit if I didn’t look for them or were in a sub about a product. Reviews are great and shouldn’t be stopped. I don’t see them as ads. Post and comments about products can be reported/down voted by users and taken down by mods if they are not following the rules in the community. We as users can also block these ppl. They haven’t paid for a space on lemmy so they can only hope ppl will see it and that it will stay up. Go and look at reddit, half of the feed is just ads. And I saw another post that they have now made the ads so big you can only see one or two posts because the ads take up so much space.

      Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if part of a reason for the site redesign was to make posts less consistently sized so that ads don’t look so out of place in the middle of your feed. And the other part is to encourage a quicker return to scrolling so that you’ll see the next ad quicker. And I agree, fuck ads.
