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?

Edit: I’d be interested to know why this post has been so heavily downvoted.
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
Might be in the EU or something I think?
If you want to support the dev I believe he has a patreon
I am
in the EUin 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 :(
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
Same for me. Pixel 7 Pro (Germany)
Which view mode are you using? I believe ads don’t show on compact and list.
