The ads on Facebook (and many other sites) are served from the same site as the actual content. So if you try to block ads with pihole it will stop the website from loading any posts.

With ads the monetization strategy is to implement ads to annoy the user into paying

The thing is, the vast majority of websites exclusively have an ad tier and the vast majority of internet users will tolerate any amount of ads because they’re not going to pay for these services.

Paying for access is paying for the service because you think it is good enough to spend money on.

if I pay for a subscription to TikTok then I obviously think that it is good enough to spend money on. And it’s not like there’s any guarantee paying is going to improve a service. Netflix started off with no ads and look where it’s at. You have to pay for ads and they keep increasing subscription costs.

Paying to remove ads and paying for access are essentially the same thing right? They have to monetize it in some way. Ads are going to implemented whether people pay or not. At least now you have a choice whether you pay with your data or money.

Do you expect it to just be free instead?
