I wouldn’t mind if the revolution paid me for the content that I produce. Would it be so bad??
I don’t think even the most radical anti-intellectual property folks think that you should get nothing for content that you produce, just that it shouldn’t be ad-driven, privacy invading, hellscape that is silicon valley’s method. Whether or not a donation driven online content system is sufficient for most is really the question.
I don’t have a problem with instances deciding they want to find themselves via (non-federating) ads. People can decide which instance to use based on their funding model. Adverts don’t intrinsically have to be privacy invading. A company that makes gaming chairs can advertise in a gaming community or on a gaming-focussed instance without invading privacy
