A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

I'd be down to opt into non-intrusive banner ads. Not loud unskippable bullshit that disrupts my experience.
Why? Why would you want to be marketed to?
And, they are only worth something to advertisers, if they work. Which in your case, they very likely wouldn't. If the ads aren't disruptive, they aren't making money.
People get used to ads, and so they stop working, as they stop working, they have to get more aggressive, but then people just get used to them again... It's an endless arms race that will never stop for as long as internet services revolve around ads.
That's all good points. I guess banner ads are just where I draw the line. And since that's not feasible for either side, all that's left is adblocking
Which isn't feasible for either side, either. If the payment for services rendered is ads, and you simply don't, then you didn't pay.
Stealing a single mars bar is a victimless crime, you may even have needed the calories to live, and the victim is a mega-corporation than can absorb the cost without ever noticing... But when you start approaching a point where every customer is doing it?
That can't continue.
