  • I am aware of paid alternatives to ad-supported services like email, search, etc.

    Even when considering media, music is something one can buy vinyls or use a streaming service that better(?) compensate the artist.

    But movies and TV? Aren’t advertisements baked in to what most consume today, albeit at different levels? For instance, product placements in movies, ad-supported free streaming, paid streaming with ads, etc.

    Unless we are talking about truly independent media which is either not easily accessible/discoverable to a layman like me, or isn’t as entertaining as the mainstream ones (highly debatable/subjective, as one hasn’t explored the offerings enough).

    I would genuinely like to learn more about ad-independent media, and how you consume it.






  • Had to scroll a bit to see Mlem’s mention.

    I believe it was the first native app for iOS around the time of Reddit API announcements. I am waiting for it to arrive on App Store.

    The app suffered a few delays as the original developer bowed out due to the toxicity and pressures from building the app. Though the app is being developed under a new team, and is coming along well!

    Till then wefwef FTW!

    Speaking of, if wefwef can figure out the niceties of iOS (tap top to scroll to the top, haptics, etc.) I would gladly continue to use it. It is a really well made web app.
