          Until they start doing tiers, just look at every streaming service for examples. They sure are.

          Fuck them. Give them a hand to hold and they’ll climb on your shoulder and piss in your ear.

      Sure it is, it just hasn’t had as long to mature.

      But it’s working on it. One pre-roll ad became two. Skippable ads became unskippable. Mid-roll ads were introduced. The algorithm was created to keep people watching, even if it set them on a path to domestic terrorism.

      Now they’re fighting ad blockers. Then they’ll creep up the price of their paid tiers. Then they’ll introduce ads into the paid tiers.

      But don’t worry, they promise it will only ever be a single, skippable, pre-roll ad, until it isn’t.

      You could hand over every cent you earn each week and they’ll still show you ads and sell your data, because that’s how greed works. If there is a penny to take, they’ll take it.

      The only thing we can do to defend ourselves from this practise is to make it clear that it will lose them more than it will gain.

      The exact thing you’re trying to shame people out of doing.
