I have not. If I have to pay _and watch ads_ in my own home, fuck you and you do not get my money anymore.

I also don't watch stuff with ads anymore. It's unbearable after you detoxed.

@tante @anon_opin Same. I don't have any plans where I pay and still get ads. It's one or the other.

@tante I used to have one paid subscription and it was to Netflix. Then the extortion happened: pay us even more or you’ll have to watch ads. NOPE, I quit. Took up knitting instead.

@nancylwayne @tante 2025 was the year I started buying BluRays again. It's ridiculous.

@tante i’m truly shocked when friends (who can easily afford to get rid of them) try to show me something on spotify or youtube and ads start playing. like what the fuck are you doing with your lives man.

Yeah, I have a paid subscription to Wired because they do some pretty good reporting, but their email newsletter is so full of promotional crap that I'm not sure I'm going to renew.
