They get loads in governments tax breaks and they data mine the fuck out of us so fuck them and their ads.

I’ll continue to block them as long as we can and then move on to something else if we can’t. By paying you are just rewarding this exploitative behavior.

If you simply must pay for something then donate it to a charity instead. These companies do not need your money.

I did $390 in charitable giving last month and paid $23 for YT Premium. My priorities are just fine so please don’t lecture me on how to spend my money.
