A small lemmy instance = a small dataset = less desirable to advertisers = less valuable for the owner of the instance to attempt to sell

But even so, the margins on the crap they sell must be so thin

Think about it practically. Microsoft is not an advertising company, they make their money from enterprise software. Windows is installed on billions of computers. The infrastructure required to accept and process every single key pressed by every single windows user and turn it into something usable would be enormous. And for what? To make a few extra millions by selling it to some advertising company?

I've bought from aliexpress in the past for obscure electronics that you can't really get anywhere else for a good price. But I will never shop at temu, I am incredibly suspicious about how they have such an incredibly large advertising budget yet their prices are so low. Either it's a straight up scam or they are expecting to make a lot of money later down the line

I've changed my mind, but I do think that the concept is somewhat difficult to grasp

To be honest, I thought it was stupid. I misunderstood how it works and I thought it was overcomplicating the idea of decentralised instances
