A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

Your refusal to pay for a browser or a social network is what lead to this. And the people who provide those "free" services will make their money somehow.
Paid media which still has ads proves the lie.
Yep. Companies don't enshittify because it's necessary, they enshittify because they can get away with it.
If they can put ads in your media even when you're paying, they will, regardless of whether your payments cover the cost on their own or not.
Idk why Netflix is still showing people ads then...
oh bullshit. I still have a paid lifetime LJ.
This war was started by the companies An ad on the sidebar? sure fine, whatever. But then started farming ad streams and letting MALWARE into the fckin thing. So we put up ad blockers. And then they decided it meant we wanted MORE ads. And now it's full page as everywhere trying to trick you into a false click, it's ads interrupting content, Doctors hate this one trick! Drink a spoonful of thi s common household item to fart gerbils!! You wanna see a trailer? WATCH THESE FOUR ADS FIRST BEFORE YOU SEE THE AD!! its ads on ads on ads, in a way beyond network television's wildest dreams.
I only use those social networks the bare minimum that I am forced to do so in order to maintain a presence in human society. Burn corporate Internet to the fucking ground 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Didn't care for tiny ads back then. I was there for my videos made with windows movie maker with an Evanescence track over it.
Now it's over the top and non stop, it's full of scammers, and it collects everything about me while it's trying to manipulate me into becoming enraged about everything so I keep engaging with their platform eternally.
uBlock stays on.
Actually 🤓, what lead to this 👆 being the state of things is corporate greed 🤑. The 'people' 🐽🐷 who own those 'services' make more money💸💸 than entire states - I belive that's what the kids call a bruh 😑 moment.
So, I've been thinking 🤔, and I belive I found a solution 👍. It's so simple 🤩, we just need to do some, let's call them 🤫😇 'budget cuts' 📉 in the highest positions 🤯🔫
