Some app devs are setting up their own ad networks, injecting inline ads similar to how reddit operated. I know everyone needs to eat, but it's kinda lame when most lemmy instances the apps connect to are operated and funded purely by the generosity of random system admins.

I suspect most are using Google built in AD network for ease of use.
I don't mind using ads or payment to remove them for apps. Some of those Devs spend a lot of time working on them.
Well, sure Google ads or whatever. I just meant it's independent from the Lemmy platform and instance.
