  • It should help people maintaining servers exactly the same way any sort of ads would, i.e. as a source of revenue to cover costs. Having ads targeted to developers might make the ads more appealing to the public at lemmy, but whether that’s good or bad is a matter in which I take no stance right now. Both Intel and JetBrains are listed on the EthicalAds website as users of this service, so this is not necessarily geared to small developers, except for job opportunities on the ads.

    I can see opt-in/opt-out options working outside of the box for server maintainers: I think each server would need to take the initiative to implement EthicalAds in their server. Implementing this option per user seems more complicated, but that’s my perspective from the outside.
