Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

My current company makes mobile games. We're supported entirely by ads, because even our IAPs are indirectly dependent.
Most of the Appstore and Play Store are like this btw, so those will go too.
And that would be amazing! All of our games are crap, all of the freeware is crap, it's all garbage drowning out the 3-4 good, open source apps in each category. These are entire businesses and industries that don't need to exist, don't solve real problems, and one app at a time make the internet worse.
Oh tell me about it. I work in the content marketing industry. The whole field shouldn't exist, and I hope ChatGPT just kills it. We made search engines crap with all our SEO and we churn out useless semi-plagiarized content.
I work in content marketing too; sounds like youre doing it wrong. There are absolutely causes that need professional help, and deserve it.
Kinds sounds like youre just telling on yourself here, but 🤷♂️
nope. Content marketing is poison and shouldn’t exist.
The world would've been a much better place if mobile apps had a minimum price of $1 USD.
