This was the original attitude of the Old School Internet.

Unfortunately a new generation has come along that believes advertising-supported business models are their birthright.

I’d honestly rather pay a (higher) fee to a service I like and is transparent. A service where my money is paying for the uptime and development and I give consent, and not where some “evil” AI is tracking my every step and then has the audacity to recommend me ads of things totally irrelevant to me.

I respect that services have running costs and I’m happy to cover my usage, but I have to understand that the average consumer doesn’t give a crap, or is simply ignorant and doesn’t know.
