What are you talking about? There’s all sorts of ways to bypass the ads

Scariest visual novel i ever played was about kids having their privacy personally violated (that is, not generic analytic data, but someone knowing that kid specifically was doing so and so) and just not caring about it.

Seriously, screw these people. Not the people using a neat piece of tech, the idiots so freaked out by a different piece of cool tech that they panic over a vr headset.

Google glasses were fucking awesome conceptually.

I’ll never get why Republicans are so damn scared of everything.

Seems fucked to me, that people have such an unhealthy relationship with sex that they can’t even simply hide it for themselves but must out right ban it.

I remember nsfw being sentenced to the shadow realm by instances i could view, so i just assume it goes beyond just a single instance. Especially with how things are going generally speaking.

Still crazy that the porn instances are trying to distance themselves while they are themselves being locked out of the prudeverse as well.

Ya love to see it

I’d be a tyrant, wielding total power for life. No incremental bullshit, I’d be mandating a less soul crushing culture.

A musical cat would be great, really soothing. I could probably charge for shows too!

Also, technically cats are crepuscular, they like the dusk and dawn.

Yeah I’m totally out. I don’t see how anyone is getting excited for anything out of Facebook.

That’s deeply unfortunate

Last i heard he genuinely didn’t know how to do it any other way and refused the help of actual programmers.

Acab All Cops Are Ball-less

Huh. Wendy’s has gotten really shit. I never cared, duh, but they used to be mildly funny at least. The corpos will manage to corporatize even corpo shit.

Yeah but we should probably ask people who actually know what’s going on instead

Ah yes, poptarts are my favorite sandwich of course

I think ads could still work fine, the issue is that Google has more or less ruined the advertising environment.

Donations are great, almost no matter the size. If you have a big user base there will be people with money to burn it a desire to see whatever you got flourish. If you are a tiny a porn project anyone into your little niche is going to be willing to throw support your way.

Subscriptions suck, depending on what they do. If they provide the only access then your service will never take off. If they just give you cool stuff on top of whatever it is you’re already doing then you are just rewarding reoccurring donations, which probably works best.

I feel like I’ve said “that’s wild” every other comment since joining lemmy, but damn that’s wild. The Internet is straight up dying.

On the one hand getting raided by an evil government agency is a lot of clout in a lot of spaces, in the other hand what the fuck.
