These big tech companies are so frustrating. Why does every single aspect of our digital lives need to be monitored? It’s like whack a mole trying to get the most basic of privacy.

Because people collectively vote for the ad model over the subscription model.

I pay for 2 streaming services. They include annoying ads and the only way to avoid ads is, yeah to just pay more. No sense at all.

That makes perfect sense actually, you pay them half of the ad revenue to get rid of half the ads.

Perfect sense. Later, we pay to get ride of 90% of the ads to still have ads everywhere. Then 99% and on.
