A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That tells you the true value of advertising to you. They make more than the take because they are an advertising company who has just built a stupid service to entice people to view the ads and give up their habits. They are undercutting their core business by offering an ad-free sub in the first place, which is why they overcharge for it. They'd rather make some money than none, but they hate that they can't advertise to you.
