        The World worked that way, but people accepted the new ad contained products they paid for.

        People even think it is fine to buy a product you don’t own

          I like to compare that argument to climate change. If everyone voted with their wallet to not buy/do things which are bad for the environment we would stop climate change over night.

          Now think about how impossible that is and then remember, that collective effort is just as difficult as stopping people buying things which contain ads

      I pay for my phone and my phone and my internet access. What gives?

        This, but unironically.

        If I had the means to pirate my internet connection, I’d do it in a heart beat.

          Oh absolutely. I used to get free data on a blackberry I had, and it was great. Free YouTube all day!
