I'm worried that if we become dependent on ads, then we also become beholden to the advertisers. I don't want to have to have to use neutered words like "unalive." Give companies an inch, and they'll take a mile. I'd rather avoid the risk of ads controlling my internet completely.

But it seems we're on the same page about decentralization. There could be ad-sponsored instances for you and user-sponsored instances for me, and we can all get what we prefer. We all win when there are more choices available.
