True but at the same time entire businesses are built on advertising and wouldn’t exist without it. All your favorite YouTubers, virtually all internet published media, etc.
Such a small share of ad-revenue goes to creators it’s not worth it. You lose in wasting time, getting your brain turned to mush and getting manipulated by the ads. It costs less to support the creators directly.
I just wish there were easier ways to do so. Something decentralised with all the creators where I could fix an amount per month to spend on content creation and getting it split between what I appreciated.
Don’t forget; sports events. Even the Olympics don’t exist without ads. Adds rule the world (unfortunately). It gets problematic when your privacy gets compromised.

If they can’t exist without ads then it’s time to die
Great, wave goodbye to all your favorite publications.
Bad take. There’s also subscription models for example. Or grants or donation / donor based.
Bad take. Those are simply not sustainable in most cases on their own. They just subsidize other revenue models.
Oh no
Anyway
HaHa

Uhhhh I mean there are lots and lots of people doing it every day, so it very clearly absolutely is worth it for them.
That’s great but it’s not sustainable.

Sporting events existed for thousands of years before advertising—don’t mistake current conditions for necessary ones.
