Huh, they seemingly have money to not fuck our eyes without lube for ads, but I guess they somehow just don't have enough money, 156 billion dollars is really nothing after all. Probably more money in between my couch cushions. Such a small indie company that has to struggle to remain afloat, like an Etsy store.

I'm sure they can take a page from every online service before we entered the 2020s, where you could pay to enter without ads, like Netflix was. But no, the ad company has to inject ads into everything.

Maybe stop being a bootlicker for a company that used to be "Don't be evil."

It's simply the customer getting paid for the labor of being a cashier. If someone does labor for a company, the company pays them.

Also, please explain how you want people to question the government, but support that very same government banning ways to find info to question it?

Oh yeah a nation that spies on everything and arrests anyone who disagrees with Putin sure is gonna revolt.

Blaming a nation of people who are unable to change their government with voting or revolution doesn't help them. It makes you look like someone who'd blame all Japanese in America for Pearl Harbor.

Their options are not express free thought to a nation that kills its state officials when they are done being useful, or be buried near those officials in an unmarked grave.

The same logic applies to Americans in 2004. Not every american agreed with the Iraq invasion, but I guess Bush did all Americans must be removed from the Great equalizer of the Internet.

You could go with YouTube if you want something on the background. Or just ~~pirate the media~~ buy BluRays and DVDs of the shows and movies you rewatch.

I think that got held up in lobbyists appealing to the court.
