> Maybe if you paid for your content it would suck less Haha, maybe, but I really don't think so. People pay for cable and still get ads; people pay for Netflix and still get ads, I still got ads when on Youtube Premium, etc. Even outside of media consumption, there are countless similar examples. Perhaps, if content was paid for in juicy frictionless micropayments, the bullshit web would suck less - for a time. But it would begin to suck more and more, until we have the same situation or worse (while still paying, more and more). The companies pumping out these trackers and selling our data couldn't care less whether people are subscribing to a service or not. They'll offer cash and buy our data until the day that shit is illegal.
