With all the dark patterns and bullshit in every service, it has become too difficult to pay for things. Even services I like, and I think are run by ethical people—you never know who’ll get bought. Of course, like everybody else, I block ads. Although, when I didn’t I didn’t click on the things anyway. I dunno. For a while I felt bad consuming stuff without paying. But in the end, the internet has become so hostile and manipulative, I guess… I’m just going to wait it out. Eventually hopefully it will all collapse and a viable business model will be discovered.
