Threads can only display ads on their app
if lemmy.world adds ads, people can just not use the lemmy.world website
As far as i know they cant force other apps to show ads
What is stopping them from adding ads to the website?
That's what I imagine happening, a few people can't stand it and leave or use uBlock, and the rest of the userbase gets served ads
Not unless ads are a footer or something in post or comment content. That's an intellectual property gray area, I wonder what will happen.
eugh, if they embedded them as posts, they'd be federating the ads as well.
