if an admin becomes tempted with letting sponsored content to filter into the network, they will face defederation and an diaspora of their users.
that’s why it’s also important to support your server admin financially so they don’t have an incentive of looking for third party financing in the first place.
I don’t get what those companies try to achieve by automating writing (by spewing statistically probable prose), reading (by badly summarizing text cobbled from excerpts without the ability to make any sense of it), art, photography, music, all standardized to the lowest common denominator.
I’m not buying a new device that will try to impose any of this hype. For now, Apple has decided to “punish” the users in the European Union by holding the Apple Intelligence features hostage. FINE BY ME!
