Sadly you are atypical and the vast majority are freeloaders, who even without ads or tracking will try and find another way not to pay.

There is no substance to this statement.

Citation needed.

> who even without ads or tracking will try and find another way not to pay

Why is this relevant? People try to get free stuff all over the place and I don't find it makes my life difficult.

I think we need to agree upon a definition of freeloader before citing sources to support the claim. I've found that many people who use the word have a much more transactional view of the world than I do.

As opposed to morally upright people like yourself, who look for ways to pay for things that might be obtained freely?

Freeloaders like all the ad-supported platforms that rely on free "content" created by the users?
