Bots wouldn’t have that many spelling and grammatical errors.

I pay for:

• eMail, Cloud storage, VPN (Proton)
• Search (Kagi)
• Anything that takes away advertisements if I do. I loathe ads.

Absolutely not!

The attention based, advertisement business model is the “original sin” of the internet. If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product. You are what’s being sold. It changes all the incentives for the site. It’s why social media and news media have become so toxic and polarizing.

It’s why Reddit has made every one of it’s unpopular decisions. It made them, to create a better product for it’s customers (advertisers), not because it makes a better experience for us. If we want the best site for us, we need to be the customer. That means we need to be the ones who pay for it.

This is absolutely, undeniably a bad idea.
