   The docs and communications around mozilla pivot to advertising is both a stunning display of an insular echo chamber culture that has completely lost the plot and seems to have no critical internal voices, and also a fascinating attempt at corporate gaslighting, claiming that advertising makes things accessible and so they are enabling the advertising and surveillance economy "for the poor."

     Well you see according to Mozilla, that lack of advertising is just you being highly privileged and not a reflection of the basic reality that the advertising economy is not in fact vital to the web and that there will always be alternatives to it simply by virtue of people wanting to make things for each other. The Real Web Is Advertising Only and if you talked to Joe the Plumber you would know that The Poors Like It That Way

     @jonny Yeah, the thing is I don't see *that much* advertising on the indie web...

     The surface web seems to serve as its own echo chamber! How do people stand it anymore?
