I once ordered something, because I wanted it, but then the vendor immediately signed me up for their shitty mailing list without asking. This upset me so much that I immediately cancelled the order. They decided to ignore my cancellation

I don't mind paying for content. You made a thing I enjoy, so I will compensate you for it. However, I am not a pawn to be jerked around. Content comes to me, I don't go to it. I'm not going to search a dozen streaming sites

I submitted a few patches to an elixir project and from that a company reached out to hire me. This was a while ago but I got the feeling that companies were starved for talent.
