How can they even serve ads if you dont use their website? Wouldnt other websites and apps need to implement ads for it to work?
However Meta decides to serve ads on Threads or Threads content. Whatever it takes, Threads will definitely do ads, as they are owned by an advertising company, but we don’t really know how LemmyWorld will do ads until those ads are live.
Threads can only display ads on their app
if lemmy.world adds ads, people can just not use the lemmy.world website
As far as i know they cant force other apps to show ads

What is stopping them from adding ads to the website?

That’s what I imagine happening, a few people can’t stand it and leave or use uBlock, and the rest of the userbase gets served ads

Not unless ads are a footer or something in post or comment content. That’s an intellectual property gray area, I wonder what will happen.
