I wonder how ad view counts are affected when you actively drive away your hard core content posting audience? Hmm...
Third party apps didn't show ads, so I guess ad views didn't change that much after the blackout. They might even have gone up a bit with some users who started using the "official" ad-laced app.
I would have stayed, and paid, to continue using 3rd party apps with an ad-free experience. Now, I don’t pay, or see ads, as I don’t go there at all. What a result; well done.
Absolutely same.
Wiped clean two accounts with 12 & 11 years worth of content, plus some alts. No way I'd let them profit off my stuff.
Well now that there are no good moderation tools left, they can finally embrace all the scammy bots.
