I've got Firefox and Ublock, and don't see any delays, warnings, etc. It may have to do with the fact that I'm not signed in with an account.

Just don't buy stuff you don't need. 100% savings every time.

I'm not sure that helps much. Blacklisting senders based on their IP is much more commonly (and effectively) done on intermediary servers rather than on the client.

Hailing from India, Satya Nadella, the company's latest leader, has a story that involves the criminal nature of India

I stopped reading at that point. The author obviously has nothing worthwhile or interesting to say.

Some observers see another reason for the frequent price hikes: to push subscribers to their breaking point, and compel them to opt for a lower-priced, or even free, ad-supported plan instead.

Disney CEO Bob Iger said as much during an August earnings call: “We’re obviously trying, with our pricing strategy, to migrate more subs to the advertiser-supported tier.”

I'll cancel my account before I willingly subject myself to advertising. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

It's not for your personal privacy, or to spare you personal embarrassment. But rather because large-scale demographic data collection is dangerous.

The Nazis used such collections to locate Jews. America used such collections to locate Japanese-Americans. The Rwanda genocide was facilitated by tribal affiliation being printed on ID cards. In none of these cases were the data collected for the nefarious purposes it was eventually used for.

Information is a form of knowledge, knowledge is power, and power in the wrong hands is dangerous.
