    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.
