The Python Software Foundation Is Now Showing Banner Ads
Key topics

I don't understand why the PSF is begging me to donate by showing an intrusive (and borderline manipulative) banner ad disrupting my reading flow.
If this was supposed to be the "point", it has made even more less likely to give money to support them.
I understand that sponsors are needed and the PSF have already been paid massively for this with their many PSF sponsors. Because of these generous sponsorships from these companies that use Python, you wouldn't need donations from me.
I just wish we can stop the enshittification of almost everything by polluting the web with ads.
