      You realize YouTubers are business’ along with content creators in general right? The mute button is right there. Along with would you prefer them to have there own instances so you can just block them out?

        I would prefer they go to the platform with more people that they can reach, which is already enshitified with ads. I don’t care if you’re selling the meaning of life, I don’t wanna see that on fedi because this is our place away from bullshit like that. And if they try to spread into fedi, I can and will support harassing them in whatever way is necessary to convince them to leave, including leaving bad reviews, repeatedly calling their phone numbers, signing their support email addresses up for spam newsletters, etc.

          So… go out of your way to harass small developing business’ because they want to use a great thing like the Fediverse? They haven’t paid or put themselves higher on the ladders through paid ads, they can run there own instances if they wish.

          As someone who’s trying to make a small business and doesn’t support how Centralized Socials are used I want to use the Fediverse as my hub of presence for it… What is wrong with a business wanting to grow & interact with people?

              Ahh explains things. Capitalism is sadly what most of us have at the moment and with how jobs are these days some have to create small business’ to keep the lights on and food on the table, I hope you find what you are looking for in life as obviously you don’t have it right now.

        Why should it be necessary to block business from a social platform? Shouldn’t personal communication be the default? We don’t need to monetise every breath we take.

          I’m not saying to make monetized ads but if tomorrow the centralized web went away (or gets further restricted for users and brands a like) then how would small business be best to use there accounts rather than shoving ads in your face.

          Small business are often trying to just make ends meet especially in some places that can’t easily get jobs, making your own sometimes is the only option.

            Let me be clear: I don’t want you to bring marketing to the last tiny space on the internet where no-one is trying to sell me things. Go to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, one of the hundred or so for-profit social networks.

              Plenty of people advertise for you to donate towards them on here, I’m simply saying how small business can feel like they are being apart of the Fediverse rather than just using it to advertise there products.
