Except no one is forcing you to face that bully.
You can simply stay away.
Yeah, I don't have much sympathy for this dork. You don't need to watch YouTube.
It's either this or cable, cable sucks.
So i'd rather adblock the hell out of them.
Then you're choosing to use their service without paying, and don't get to complain.
But you're wrong though, because i do get to complain.
Most people are lazy and not willing to make their life less comfortable. If they were, a lot of problems in big tech would not even exist. That's why people still buy apple, use WhatsApp and microsoft instead of the free alternatives - because its less comfortable.
They want change, but are unwilling to be a factor in causing that change.
