If you care enough to describe advertising as “mind rape,” why use the service at all?
Why should you be allowed to take a thing from them without paying for it in some way? Just because you are technically able?
- matheusmoreira 3y agoBecause I'm not "taking" anything. They're the ones who send people stuff for free. They're more than capable of returning HTTP 402 Payment Required instead of a video stream. If they send me ads instead I'll delete them. Don't turn this around on us. They're the ones poisoning the well by offering free stuff with implicit strings attached and thereby normalizing "free" services. We're under exactly zero moral obligation to "pay" them by looking at ads. They have absolutely no one else but themselves to blame for their business model and the assumptions they made.
