I've been seeing that being built, and it really makes me nervous. I have hated advertising my entire life. And I don't mean a wavy hand disregard, I mean an active HATRED towards the interruption of whatever I was watching or reading just because someone wants to shove content in my face that I don't want to see. If I'm actively looking for a product or service, advertising in search results is logical and welcome. Show me your stuff when I'm looking for it. But get in my screen with bells and whistles when I'm not looking for it, and that company has very likely lost a potential customer because I won't support that kind of interruption bullshit.

I love Nostr because it has no algorithms, no corporations and no advertising. I hope that doesn't change, at least not in the apps that I choose to use. If an app I use frequently changes to allow ads or corporate takeovers of screen space and my time, that app can burn in the fires of Muspelheim.
