We should think about the advertising model before its too late and it gets shoved onto us. I think each community should get its own advertiser and they get a stick post on each post which is limited to 300 chars and one url.
Its simple, non intrusive and we can make it a bidding. 80 % of the proceeds should go to the maintenance of the instance, 20 % should go to the moderators of the instance.
Would warner brothers want this for 100 $ on movies ? I think so …

If an instance needs to make money, they may run ads. It’s between them and their local users. I block ads and would rather donate than be on a server forcing ads on their users.
Any federated communities running their own ads I will unsubscribe in a heartbeat.
We could have an instance solely dedicated to advertising and see who signs up.
Just create advertising community and let all advertise on that community alone ? Thats a good idea, kind of like ‘deals’ but you pay to post there.
I guess my comment was facetious. I don’t mind if someone would try to implement it. Of course getting people to stay federated with such a place may be a challenge, but maybe some will want the money.
We should not think about an advertising model.
you imply that it needs to happen but there are other ways to get the funds. I think it’s better to have some ‘title’ for donnors that also makes it easier to identify bots.
