      TIL that looking at ads, even without money leaving my bank account, isn’t free. These marketing people are wizards /s

        I think it’s very valid to say a service isn’t free if it makes you the product by forcibly showing you ads. This is especially true when your data is being collected and shared with advertisers.

        Time is more valuable than money, and I don’t like spending time on ads. That’s just my two cents, though.

      Your mind is gonna be blown when you learn that you can block ads system-wide on android…

          Being able to block ads entirely doesn’t change whether or not you see ads in your feed?

          That’s an interesting, and totally sensible perspective lol
