    Im not bothered about adverting your products as long as its not just advertising in every single post and theres a human element to the social posting Rule 5,6 of Cupoftea.social (my instance) "No accounts setup purely to sell something / Fake Engagement (Such As Investments/NFT/Cryptos/Wealth stuff) There has to be a human element in your posting. ""No spam , Excessive promotion , Porn or S**t Posting, Its just not for this server " Mastodon.social is full of crap and its user numbers are mostly from spam bots and porn.

      I am bothered by ads that are targeted but still advertise meat to me (I don't eat the stuff). I am bothered by ads that prevent me from reading the content on the page.

      If they want to send a product to an influencer who actually uses the product and they post a well written out review to be crossposted on relevant communities. I'm all for that.

      But your right, the human element is missing in 99% of ads on the internet. At this point I am no longer interested in supporting these websites so everything is blocked. That is also something advertisers need to learn. If your ad devalues the reason the user loaded the page, your ad failed.
