The privacy movement can't sell out to private entities or all bets are off again, I think no advertisements is wholly nessasary. I think taking out Reddit is much more achievable than many people think. Yes it will take some money and resources.

Yes, but where is that money going to come from?

The money is coming from the community, which is why progress is slow. People don't have much money. It doesn't mean we should sell the soul of the project for a quick buck. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Rome wasn't built for free either, we need some sort of financial backup. Even if it isn't advertising something needs to be in place.

Yes, but this place is electronic and exists in an aether. It's possible to do at minimal costs.

There's no such thing as the aether. It exists on other people's computers, which they want to be paid to use.
