The fact that unsolicited ads predate television and radio is why I despise marketing so much I won't even shill my own art projects without shame. I don't care anymore what service I'm taking from you, if it's worth anything I will subscribe and if its not I will use FOSS because I will look for you, not the other way around.

And if the only option is a service funded through ads, don't be surprised when I dump your abusive asses the moment a replacement comes around, like I did when I moved from Google Earth Pro to uMap, or Reddit to Lemmy.
