how so? I just slide by them and move on with my life.

It's absolutely mind-blowing to me the entitlement people have thinking they should get things for free.

Oh please. They're the ones who are entitled. They literally think they can sell our attention to advertisers. It's not theirs to sell.

They chose to have a free site. Don't want to give things away for free? Charge for access then.

This is must be a parody, right?

No, they chose to have a site funded by ads. If you don't want to be advertised to, get off Reddit.

the site isn't free, the cost of using it is the ads.

We're under no obligation to look at ads.
