Ben'Pay to remove ads' is such an awful insidious now common phrase. Give us money or else we'll do this to you. If you don't pay us, we will control your experience. We will force ourselves upon you unless you meet our demands. Modern day protection racket.
inpc@TheBreadmonkey tbh the business model of the internet needs to change. I’d prefer p2p micropayments for articles/video/stuff that enables creators to get paid while removing vast piles of shit in the middle.
A different internet is possible but it’s a pretty underground concept as everyone sees the internet as ‘free’ when it’s a model paid for from surveillance.
Fuck those pop ups though!
