Is there an amount of money I can pay monthly, which gets put into a pot and distributed to various companies?
That way they get my money without needing to advertise to me and without needing to produce any products or pay salaries, and I get to live a calmer life.

Once they can impede society, they can be paid to leave people alone.” — Richard Stallman, 1986 https://www.gnu.org/gnu/byte-interview https://www.gnu.org/gnu/byte-interview “But we’ve proved it again and again, that if once you have paid him the Dane-geld, you never get rid of the Dane.” — Rudyard Kipling, 1911, Dane-geld
