It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn't matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

Later or Agree
No Disagree option

A rapist mentality.

As with all these services, the "disagree" option is "stop using our devices and services" which really should be illegal when it's tied to hardware you already bought it and the terms changed after the fact.

I wonder how things would go if they made you agree to the terms before being allowed to purchase it.

People bring it to the till, and then just hand it back saying nope.
