    The subscription model rarely works

    when the objective is profiteering and endless growth

    I have an unpopular opinion that ads are still the best way to pay for servers and staff

    I think that’s acceptable if it’s not based on datamining and profiling and personalization, but on context, and if ads are honest and not too attention grabbing. yeah advertise your product/service, with its benefits, and do not try to persuade people into paying for garbage
