Who is the "they" that is going to implement what you claim? And how are they going to do that, specifically? Lemmy isn't reddit or youtube, technically. There is no central authority. Lemmy.world can't change how this technology works just because they might want to start injecting recommendations or ads. That's the point of this system.
Who is hosting this? Lemmy.ml, all the federated sites? With the reddit exodus there is probably a lot more activity. Who's paying for that? That's who they would be in this situation I think.
