@slashdot I feel like this is a bit of a common pattern? Company builds an awesome product, makes it free for a lot of users, then create additional features and paid plans, makes a tonne of money. But then later decide they need to make more money, so focus on converting the free users to paid users. Hmmm 🤔 Surely this can't be the only viable business model? 🤔

@darch But this is what I'm confused about. Why would my Twt contains a reference to `http://darch.dk/social` instead of `http://darch.dk/twtxt.txt` -- which the later is what I `@-mentioned`? 🤔

I'm willing to get that Google™ is losing ad revenue from sponsored advertising and sponsors of Youtubers.

See, even a video I was just watching on Youtube just now, the guy said:
> THanks for Surf Shark for sponsoring this video, it keeps the content free.
So that basically tells me that Google™ advertising on Youtube™ is utter bullshit. I have a funny feeling they're (Google™'s) crack-down on ad-blocker is just an internal reaction to a losing battle with their ad revenue streams in the declins from their ad business.
----
As an aside @movq and I were yarning about this before... The reason this form of advertising works so well is "brand awareness". There's some interesting content, and you don't mind that the guy or gal is sponsored by some company and they happen to make mention of it and even go into a special part of their video (_without being annoying about it_). You don't even fast forward or anything because you already like their voice, and they're not being completely obnoxious about what they're promoting, and what they're promoting isn't complete garbage, malware or worse.

@darch I needn an example of where this breaks down I think. Do you happen to have one? 🤔 By all rights, looking at the code paths, the issue raised really doesn't make sense to me. The Source is the Twt permalink on the source pod that contains an `@-mention` of the target's Twtxt feed. So that should validate just fine hmm 🤔

SO now Linux GIzmos a website that I regularly like to subscribe to and read via RSS/Atom -> Twtxt has now suddenly gone down this path of "Please disable your adblocker, pretty please, because ads help support us!" 
-- Geez christ! 😱 🤦♂️ The answer is "fuck no". Not only can your ads not be trusted as you have no control over them, they can be downright dangerous too! 🤬 Fuck me 🤦♂️ Wtf is going on here?! First Youtube, now some random little site?!

I can see that your web page https://darch.dk/social has a `<link rel="webmention" href="https://webmention.io/darch.dk/webmention">` in the page's`<head>` which his good. But that is not what you're linking to in your post, so that won't get sent a WebMention

If you have a look at any of the feeds on my pod, they all respond with a `Link:` header in the response.

The reason this is not working, is there is no `Link` header on your feed that you're mentiong: https://gist.mills.io/prologic/fc5290f62c07494590a7e4bc2804c126

@darch No I mean, what do we want to achieve with WebMentions that doesn't already work across pods in `yarnd`? One issue I see is adoption.

For non-`yarnd` users, it _could_ potentially be interesting to have a "Webmention" -> "Email" forwarding service, such that you hide your Email address behind this service, but have all of the advantages of getting notified if someone happened to mention your web page or twtxt feed or specific twt.
