- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

What if half of our ISP bill went to subsidy websites based solely on how many megabytes/GBs you're using towards or from a certain source.
I get the idea, but it seems hardly reasonable to pay companies for the bandwidth they use. Wouldn't that incentivize wasting bandwidth?
I can foresee a news website sending me gigabyte websites just to cheat the system. This is the part where the system breaks down
Maybe the opposite would work: serve the same content as the competitors with lower data.
