Sorry, I misread your comment. It's not OK to refuse service if you refuse tracking. Paid service or ads without tracking is OK. Paid service with no free alternative is OK - you didn't refuse service based on refusing tracking, y

I live in a country where you can't evict families with children. This means you can get shitty people who will destroy your property and you can do nothing about it. They are too poor to get damages if you sue. A family member lost a

Price/profit != value. Sure, Hollywood movies bring in a ton of money, but I get way more value from daily indie youtubers than a blockbuster released once a month.
