Wherever I go, I often see the sentiment “This website has ads, so it’s trash” pop up in conversations. And honestly I don’t quite get why. 90% of the internet has always had ads, you just scroll past them and mind your business. At least they’re personalized now so you can pick a topic you like instead of diapers and miscellanous spammy trash as there once were.
The little personal time I have and by attention has to be wasted on looking at something that’s trying to convince me that I need a product or a service or whatever and to spend my hard earned money on it. Money that I received in exchange for my time.
We don’t live forever. The little time we have in this world is wasted on stupid work instead of enjoying life. I don’t want to waste whatever I have left on this shit.
