- isoprophlex 5y agoYeah, me too; i have paid email, paid adblocking dns. I de-googled my life and ditched FB, insta, twitter. (Ok, that I also did for my own mental well-being) But I'm, what, a 0.1% minority of global internet users? Meanwhile I try to find suitable games for my kids to play or video's to watch, and 9 out of 10 things I find have monetize through some quality-reducing, interruptive, annoying ad-driven modus operandi. It's not just services or software: consuming content is equally degraded by the expectation of limitless quantities of free shit.
