Obviously it’s not something that upsets me, but I was expecting there to be ads and haven’t seen any in several weeks of usage.

I’ve used it on several networks and do not run an adblocker on my phone, nor do I currently use Pihole or any similar DNS based adblocking.

Am I just fortunate, or is this beta related?

      I am in the EU in a country that implements the GDPR, so if @ljdawson@lemmy.world has set up something like that, it’s possible. But I’d be surprised, as I’m pretty sure he is British and would have GDPR-compliant advertising.

      Edit: Forgot that the country I live in is no longer in the EU :(

    What’s with the downvotes? It’s a relevant question.

    I do use DNS adblock so will not be able to share my experience.

    Edit: Played around and managed to get ads under Settings -> Privacy -> Revoke GDPR consent for ads

    I don’t see ads either, just black blocks with the text "Sponsored Content’

      I don’t even see those. What you are seeing is more in line with what one would expect from DNS based ad blocking.

      My brother in Christ that’s an ad placeholder. It’s black because the domain of that particular ad is blocked
