Today I could easily afford that. But thinking back a few decades when I was young and didn't have much money at my disposal I would say using stuff for free isn't that bad.

Especially when piracy is so much easier than getting your account suspended for using an adblocker.

Setting aside the possibility of malware for a second, would you have taken spotify/pandora with ads back then?
