Yeah you're an exception.

Thankfully people like you don't get to decide what EU rules as best for people.

This cannot be your actual stance.

You know there is a lot more to the Internet than that one website, right?

There are ads in algorithm apps like YouTube, tiktok, Instagram, mobile games, streaming service "poor" subscriptions, etc. And there are paywalls. But the vast majority of interesting websites don't have ads anymore.

I am not an American. I just have a different opinion on some things then you. Ever tried some empathy?

Pragmatically speaking, I prefer YouTube Premium because I hate their inability to filter out scammy ads, and I still feel like supporting creators at least a bit. As a customer, its not always my call how much of my money goes to creators. Thats why I refuse to use Apple Music and/or Spotify. I spend my money on BandCamp, which I consider an appropriate compensation for other "sins" I might commit on the net.

We’re lucky our computers aren’t walled gardens because if Apple knew it would work this well with iOS, MacOS would be the same.

Well, yeah. That's why I want walled gardens to "have options" without enforcing that people must/must-not use those options.
