"Why do you feel everything needs to be monetized?" You should ask Google that. Because they're the one actually monetizing. It's like a money printer with everybody's content as free fuel. I didn't say everything needs to be monetized. I'm saying that there's content that requires to be monetized (otherwise the content will simply not be produced) and content where the producer will attempt to monetize it because they believe it has monetary value. Surely it's up to the content producer to decide on monetization and not you. If you believe a recipe is worthless and not worthy of payment, yet then still continue to consume it regardless by bypassing any attempt at monetization, you're a hypocrite. Either it is worthless or it isn't. You can't have it both ways. Or well, on the internet you can, and that is exactly the problem. Don't take it as a personal attack. Our internet culture is hypocritical. It's a WE thing and I include myself in it. The internet we have is of our own making and our own behavior.
