I’ll just copy a previous reply:
the ads would ideally be limited to banners and gifs in the same style as these, with each user choosing whose ads they wish to host
no revenue or popularity (these are only for personal websites) would (hopefully) prevent users from hosting invasive ads. quite a few personal websites have banners linking to others, so this would be a more simpler approach
(although in principle, a whole project dedicated to automate this doesn’t sound good)>

Ads are annoying and can be privacy intrusive depending upon the ad network. However, do u have a better funding model in mind to keep these alternatives up and running?
Donation based models don’t rlly work that well. Restricting stuff behind a paywall is an option, but ethically a little icky one. Ads are the best in these cases, right?
