Don’t pretend like you don’t know what ad-supported means.

I’ll explain it with a hypothetical example. Imagine a website called “Hacker News” where it is free to post and read and in exchange you see a few ads. Don’t now say that this HN website actually costs you something to use.

It costs my attention. I would be happy to support the platform itself without any middlemen.

Saying that as someone who also worked in ad tech.
