Totally understand what you are saying here, but I am so tired of these companies insisting that the ads are what level the playing field and act as a democratizing force for their content creators. It's such bull, because it's so obvious (as you wrote on "enshitification" that the creators are also at the mercy of these corporations and that the majority of the revenue just goes into their pockets.

You'll hear no arguments from me about all the awful things Big Tech does. And adverts being the backbone of the internet is possibly one of the worst things to happen.

Honestly...my friend got an ad for an electric razor in his fortune cookie the other day. Like what a way to ruin it the dinning experience.
