    Well goodbye the internet, what advertiser is going to pay anything if they know the majority of user are bots.

        Few online platforms flourish without advertisers. Practically all our content on lemmy comes from sites with advertising.

      They pay to run ads because it makes them look better for investors who are all stupid people who have inherited JUST enough money to keep them from from ever failing at making money. More ads mean more stock value.

      That’s why there are MORE ads than ever even though the number of viewer-per-ad is plummeting.

      Its just one more example of the infinite money printing machines that are about to break the world. All the obviously ruinous bad stuff that is being allowed to happen despite the constant warning sirens is tied to these runaway money printing schemes.
