Lemmy advertising model - thoughts (lemmy.world)

We should think about the advertising model before its too late and it gets shoved onto us. I think each community should get its own advertiser and they get a stick post on each post which is limited to 300 chars and one url.

Its simple, non intrusive and we can make it a bidding. 80 % of the proceeds should go to the maintenance of the instance, 20 % should go to the moderators of the instance.

Would warner brothers want this for 100 $ on movies ? I think so ..

Honestly the best "ads" I've received have been YouTubers reviews on products. I follow people and they tell me about products related to the subjects I specifically follow them for.

And I don't mean influencers. I follow retro gamers and they occasionally get a product in the mail to review. I follow Amateur Radio operators and they occasionally get radios and antenna products in the mail to review. Foodies and cooks get stuff for the kitchen. Etc. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw an ad and bought it.
