Mine is a love hate relationship. Social media is not worth the value to pay for it, and I use every means necessary to block and ignore ads. However, even if I pay to stop the ads the website will still collect and sell my personal data. Further, it has been demonstrated by Prime, Hulu, and others, that even if you pay that still does not stop them from inserting advertisements in the future.

- candiodari 3y agoTHIS is the problem. Software, from games to business applications has the general problem that people don't consider it worth what it costs to produce. Most "tech" companies can't exist, and certainly cannot be the size they are, based on paying customers. If you look at even very cheap providers like fastmail or protonmail, who provide a decent subset of office products online for a subscription fee ... they're <100 people companies, and not for lack of trying to grow.
