Why would I reduce quality of my life tho?

If all this engagement slop went out of business tomorrow, my life wouldn't change lol

This is shit ain't food or house. I decide how I pay for it and if I pay at all. There is jack shit anyone can do about that. These companies and slop generators need to learn their place in the economy haha

Not saying you shouldn't block ads, just questioning the OCs comment. If you don't pay for the service monetarily or through data then imo it's piracy.

Piracy is just a PR term by used by the industry that hates its users... Why would you care as consumer about some shiti companies?

Alright then.

What definition for piracy are your relying on and where did you source it?

Does DMCA even have a definition for this?
