Do you feel you have outgrown media sources or discontinued them for other reasons?

    Everything that is ad-supported.

    Media funded by ads has a different objective than other media. I simply reject advertising in total.

      I like that simple take. It is very succinct. It pairs well with: money spent on advertising, reflects a poor quality product.

      I am aware of paid alternatives to ad-supported services like email, search, etc.

      Even when considering media, music is something one can buy vinyls or use a streaming service that better(?) compensate the artist.

      But movies and TV? Aren’t advertisements baked in to what most consume today, albeit at different levels? For instance, product placements in movies, ad-supported free streaming, paid streaming with ads, etc.

      Unless we are talking about truly independent media which is either not easily accessible/discoverable to a layman like me, or isn’t as entertaining as the mainstream ones (highly debatable/subjective, as one hasn’t explored the offerings enough).

      I would genuinely like to learn more about ad-independent media, and how you consume it.
