USPS is funded by ads going through the mail and I throw
them straight in the trash without remorse. I bet you do too. Bet you don't feel guilt about going to the bathroom or fast-forwarding your DVR during commercials either. Ad space is sold on the possibility that someone will see it and you don't owe anyone valuable ad real-estate.
It's wild how many people unironically think "drink verification can" is in any way acceptable.

- Spivak 3y agoSuch is their prerogative. You'll notice that nowhere are people saying "Google should have to give you a switch to turn off ads for free." You act like that's a gotcha when "I owe you nothing, you owe me nothing" is the state I'm arguing for.
- frumper 3y agoI’m confused. Google doesn’t serve every internet connection videos. The serve people asking for videos.
- mvdtnz 3y agoAt no point did I suggest people should be forced to view ads.
