    see, I don’t negotiate with terrorists, so I use PopUpOFF and Bypass Paywalls Clean. Also AdNauseam, TrackMeNot, CanvasBlocker, and SponsorBlock to round out the “fuck you, fuck your ads, and fuck your tracking” suite.

      If you don’t pay you’re not the consumer. Why wouldn’t they be hostile to you?

        I dunno, maybe provide such a good service that it makes me want to pay, voluntarily? Like I do with Steam?

        also, “you aren’t paying them, therefor they have the right to invade your privacy and serve malicious ads to you” is such a stupid, shit take. Are you some megacorp CEO’s personal ball-gargler or something?

          Steam games cost money, there’s nothing “vonutary” about it.

          I worked for a few years as freelancer (so yes, I was the CEO, and the cleaning lady) and everyone was complaining that I wanted to earn money to pay my bills and felt entitled to my labor. Some friends still are in the same situation. I grew tired of freeloaders.

          Yes, I detected ad-blocking for free users and didn’t serve them. Either pay me or gtfo. I ran a business to feed my family, not a charity.
