    Something you’re paying for should be completely ad free, period.

        The World worked that way, but people accepted the new ad contained products they paid for.

        People even think it is fine to buy a product you don’t own

          And people are making excuses for the forever inflating greed…

          I mean, how do you accept inflating prices and costs while your salary has been stagnant for decades?
          It just doesn’t make sense how costs, on individuals, are growing and growing.

        It would if everybody votes with their wallet.

          I like to compare that argument to climate change. If everyone voted with their wallet to not buy/do things which are bad for the environment we would stop climate change over night.

          Now think about how impossible that is and then remember, that collective effort is just as difficult as stopping people buying things which contain ads

            No it wouldn’t. Corpos would just put in more effort to hide the damage. Climate change can’t be stopped by individual consumers because they have no means to verify whether a product they want to buy hurts the environment.

              There are products which you can guarantee have a major negative effect on the environment yet people still purchase them. This is exactly the same as people buying games and products with ads baked in.

          Oh absolutely. I used to get free data on a blackberry I had, and it was great. Free YouTube all day!
