I’m not entirely sure but I only changed settings when things bothered me and I never saw this sort of ad. I’m not sure if I even browsed popular before I changed some settings so I’m not an objective judge. My point is, users are not trapped with this sort of ad environment. You use classic view instead of card view and the ads get a little differently annoying. Not huge screen space gobblers but sneaky post-lookalike pests.

OP has a view setting that magnifies ads. In my view setting (as close to third party apps as it gets), the ads take up much less space and there is no trending section. OP is choosing a bad layout to exaggerate their point.
But the OP literally said “c/games on lemmy.world”, so the criticism is not valid.
The post clearly mentions “c/games on lemmy.world”, not just “c/games”. Cut them some slack.
I think they’re equivalent: see the URL here - https://lemmy.world/c/games - that’s the same as saying !games@lemmy.world
That’s very odd, glad to know it’s possible though.
Does lemmy allow editing titles - or is that up to each instance and in that case, does lemmy.world allow it?
The snoovatars were absent on Apollo so I don’t miss them as much but damn do I miss the content centric design - the stock app doesn’t show flairs or u names in the default view, which sucks.
Google + being a prime example? /s
A newer way to harvest data for them, I’m sure.
We’ve just come full circle back to network shows lol
If creating legitimate copies is how someone makes money, you creating a bootleg copy deprives them of revenue and is thus stealing.
