Honestly mate, I am not a tankie or even politically left in my country, but when looking at the insane results for these enormous companies and the ever increasing greed with ads/price hikes, I’ve just had enough.

I know it’s not morally right to steal, but I refuse to support companies like Alphabet paying their CEO 200+ million a year. If they manage to block me out when skirting their ads, then I’ll find something else to spend my time on.

So you’re right, I just don’t care anymore.

I do pay for Nebula though!

Your local library usually has a host of FREE media types. Including regular ol books, which thankfully still remain ad-free.

(But also movies, and digital readers, and news articles, etc).
