I basically see two schools of thought in the discussion:
1. People that believe ads are strictly a source of revenue. If you don't like them but want to use the service, pay for the service
2. People who believe that ads are more than a banner on the page, its permission for ad networks and services to run potentially malicious content on their computer
- umanwizard 8y agoEven if 2 is true, how does that change the point? "Either pay us for our content, or let our ad networks run whatever they want on your browser" sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Would you thing it was more ethical if Spotify just got rid of the free option completely?
- hiccuphippo 8y agoWhat if Spotify ran the ads from their own servers as to not give advertisers free reign on your data?
- umanwizard 8y agoWhat if? What's your point?
