that s not how it works though, tech is a big ecosystem. At least 3 of the trillion-dollar tech companies depend on advertising , which feeds money into the content system. The rest of the ecosystem is in the business of supporting and distributing this content. Advertising is very high in the pecking order of the tech business sector. Without it, the internet would be the equivalent of USSR era Pravda (and we'd probably have a different job)

It was so terrible. /s Didn't know I was using USSR internet in the '90s-'00s before the advent of user targeted advertising. In fact most websites and products were way better back then compared to the mess of today. > At least 3 of the trillion-dollar tech companies depend on advertising Boo-hoo, let me play you and them the world's smallest violin.
