Yes but it will be offset by traffic boosts for advertisers

Use an adblocker. Unless, you mean people go on the internet without using protection?

That won’t make a difference. Reddit knows how much traffic they get and they use that number to sell ads

They do. Either due to technical ineptitude (like approximately everyone’s parents) or, and that might be worse, with the conviction of doing “the right thing,” like a friend of mine.

Junk data that costs the advertisement without a return on investment

That’s not how it works. Reddit is able to even get interest because of traffic counts. Same for IPO values

Create post

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
