I choose to post here for free. Others choose to publish their content and have advertisers show ads for which they get paid. That's their prerogative. You have the option of not consuming the content of those who want to get paid or pirate it.
- account42 4y agoOr I can choose to block ads everywhere and if someone has a problem with that they can stop providing their content for free - there will always be other entertainment to fill my time. Even without the tracking, ads are psychological manipulation inteded to make me worse off. I have zero sympathy for anyone who engages in that.
- esperent 4y ago> You have the option of not consuming the content of those who want to get paid Not really. Suppose you go onto a platform like YouTube, where most people are not being paid and some are (through advertising). How would you choose to consume only the content of those not being paid? There's no way to do that except to avoid YouTube and all similar platforms entirely which is not a reasonable option for most people.
