Fundamentally I think I've put a line in the sand that I will just pay for things instead of being bombarded with advertisements. As a kid I didn't have any money and so I put up with ads, but now as a yuppie with plenty of cash, I feel it's better to not constantly be sold to. I've been happy with Protonmail, they don't charge a prohibitive amount. Kagi is also ok. I wish there was a good alternative to YouTube, but sadly basically every YouTube competitor (e.g. Odysee, Bitchute) seems to just become a dumping ground for a bunch of neo-Nazi idiots, but at least YouTube does have YouTube premium, and I can skip through the sponsored ExpressVPN and Raycon ads.
