Ubiquiti starts serving ads in their management interface

At this point I'm just generally not okay with being marketed to against my will. Especially in places that have absolutely literally nothing to do with spending money — like, you know, every single news website and every single social media service.

If I want to buy something, and if I don't know exactly what, I'd like an unbiased list of things in that category to choose from. And when I don't want to buy anything — which is, again, when I'm reading an article for example — I don't want to be reminded that economy exists AT ALL. There is no place or circumstance in my life where advertising, as it is known today, would be anything but annoyance to me. Which is why all my devices have ad blockers installed and third-party cookies disabled.

So who pays for what you're consuming?

There is no requirement, ethically, morally, or legally to look at ads.

That's not my concern, neither is it my responsibility to make sure whoever the website belongs to gets paid. Paywall it for all I care. Implicit contracts aren't a thing.
