A guy trying to run a single-person business promoting and talking about Linux/FOSS puts merch in his description and that’s something you find really objectionable?
I mean, I get it, in an ideal world it wouldn’t be there, but the guy needs to eat. He needs a roof over his head. Etc. I’m guessing you have a job that you’re also paid for, or if you don’t, you’re provided for by people who do?
We don’t live in a star trek world with free housing, and where all our basic needs are provided by replicators. He needs money or he will die.
Nobody’s forcing you to click the links and buy shit.
E: I literally had to click “show more” in the description to get to his merch, and he never even mentions it on the channel. Idk guy I think you’re being unreasonable. It’s not pushed onto you at all.
Looking in Lemmy the advertisements are the very first thing I see, and all I see. Im not against a guy feeding himself, but you can’t hold it against me if I don’t click on something because I am bombarded with a literal wall of advertisements without anything else.

You said merch. The merch is near the bottom.
