Generally no.
A few larger companies do.

That's the most iOS looking app I've ever seen on Android. Not a fan. Sorry

There's nothing anyone can really say about your feeling. That's entirely subjective and in your own head.

You'd have to be far more specific and objective about your observations to have any kind of meaningful dialogue.

In my experience, they're thinking 20-30 cents per hour. And yah, that's never enough to change someone's mind. 20-30% that could make a difference, but it's way too much for them to ever concider.

Advertisements distort the market arrangement. When one uses advertisements to generate revenue, it inherently creates a situation where the advertisers are the actual customers. This incentivizes the site toward the needs of the advertisers instead of the users in any situation where those needs don't align.

So yes, eventually it would be the end of the world. Within a decade or two the site would go to hell. We're seeing it already with most ad based sites. People are complaining Google is getting bad. We already know that Reddit is. That's why most of us are here. News sites go to shit, when they distort themselves for advertisers. Example after example of advertising, making site after site worse over time.

The advertising model, is the original sin of the internet.
We need to find another way.

If you suppress it, letting it fester, you're right. But that's not what they're talking about.

They're describing actually letting it go. Letting the emotions wash over you and dissipate naturally. It may look the same on the outside, but internally it's very different. It's by far the best skill for your mental health.

On Reddit I only ever down voted things that were actually bad advice. Things people shouldn't do.

I've done it. It does work.

Hold your fob a foot to the side of your head. Back away until it stops working. Take 2 more steps back to be sure. Then put the fob to your forehead. It'll work again.

I'm thinking you care too much about the thoughtless reactions of anonymous strangers.
Remember... In this game, the points don't matter.

I'm immediately struck by the contradiction of asking this on Lemmy.
