That is an absurd and frankly insulting comparison to make. Rape is an act of physical violence, and you're arguing about a small price to use a free service.

- matheusmoreira 3y agoOh is it? Your mind isn't part of your body? In civilized society, people can't even touch you without your consent. Why do they have complete freedom to inject disinformation and spam into your mind with complete impunity? I won't accept it. I don't know about you but I consider my mind even more sacred than my body. It's not some advertiser's playground for them to spam their bullshit with complete impunity. I will resist that abuse. I don't need to "deserve" it. I'm not alone either. It's hard enough to cope with attention deficit without these spammers around.
- bbarn 3y agoSo don't use reddit.
- matheusmoreira 3y agoI don't have to abstain from using reddit. They're the ones who need to stop sending me free web pages. If they care so much about getting paid, all they need to do is have their web servers return 402 Payment Required and only resume service after payment is confirmed. Their advertising bullshit though? They're knowingly sending me stuff for free. They chose to do it. I won't be guilted into accepting abuse based on that. They did so hoping I was gonna look at the ads but the truth is I'm under exactly zero obligation to actually do that. So I won't.
