   @slowfallinward my position is just pirate, don't feel sorry for pirating, but also don't be a little bitch about it when they circumvent your circumvention.

     @ciel @slowfallinward it's not piracy but it's circumventing a good-faith funding model for private gain, whatever that's called.

     @ciel @slowfallinward like I said no one should feel guilty for doing it, I do it because 1. ads are bad for you psychologically 2. ads track you 3. ads are a virus vector and 4. fuck ads even if the other 3 reasons didn't exist.

     @Moon @slowfallinward @ciel do you think that back in the day when we actually watched TV, going to the toilet during a commercial break is breaking an implicit contract somehow?

     @Moon @slowfallinward @ciel a minecraft modder once said if you gave him 5$ he'd just send you the downloads because 5$ is more than he will make in a lifetime of you sitting through chained adfly links.
     
     its weird that somehow these services are offered with mandatory arsenic at rates far below what they ask for if you pay them.
     
     if 0.020$ a month is sufficient why does it cost me 30$/mo if i pay

     @Moon @slowfallinward it cant be a good faith model if these four things are true so opting out of it isnt objectionible and i also agree with you that ppl getting self righteous about it are amusing. but im not privately gaining anything of value if i ignore advertisements on billboards or in a newspaper so i must not be gaining anything by circumventing advertisements on yt.

     @ciel @slowfallinward right, you don't have any obligation to them and similarly they don't have an obligation to make it easy to get around ads either if that's their proposition for funding media
