You are proposing making the internet worse to try and justify your leeching. They give you a way to use there service with out ads and magically you have an excuse not to do that to. You are a drain, if you're happy making the world worse that is on you mate but stop trying to make it into some holy noble cause. You're just being cheap and selfish.
- genocidicbunny 3y agoI appreciate seeing your argument devolve down to just a personal attack instead of actually addressing the points I raised. I feel much more intelligent after this conversation with you.
- sanswork 3y agoYou raised no points. You said you don't like ads. It was pointed out you can pay to not see ads and you said that was just as bad(because reasons? You're morally opposed to ad based systems but you aren't opposed enough to stop propping YouTube up with traffic. Your morals stop exactly where they would start to inconvenience you, they are pretend). And that if they really want you to compensate them for taking their resources they should make the internet worse by making it impossible for anyone to choose viewing ads over paying. You're selfish and trying to find a way to justify it that doesn't boil down to selfish and cheap and you won't find it because that is literally your only justification. > I feel much more intelligent after this conversation with you You're welcome. Hopefully you'll feel like being less of a leech too.
- genocidicbunny 3y agoI'm curious, you mention that you run several companies in your profile, are they ad-driven for their revenue?
- sanswork 3y agoThey are in that paid traffic is essential for them but I don't directly receive income from ads for any of them. At least not in a way that an ad blocker would negatively impact my income.
- matheusmoreira 3y agoWe raised plenty of points. You just dismissed them, doubled down and started name calling. Welp.
- matheusmoreira 3y ago> You are proposing making the internet worse We're proposing they stop pretending the service is free when it's not. If they keep giving us free stuff, who are we to refuse?
- sanswork 3y agoThey aren't pretending it's free. You are.
