    Also be aware that Amazon donated one million dollars to the Trump inauguration and is a sponsor of the Jun 14 military parade.

    Just steal it. If its an amazon original, they will cancel it after 2 seasons anyway.

      Just renewed proton vpn yesterday (didn’t get any mails or anything, it just popped a box out of nowhere), had that sweet 3 year deal running out 🥲. Its some cash (a hundred something for 2 years) but I’m trying to do my honest work.jpg.

          Me too, except I didn’t get the email saying my pro vpn was about to expire, which might be my fault ofc. Gotta check the oarameters :-)

          It’s really good IMO and I’d recommend it fullheartedly, Switzerland has some of the best laws out there too concerning privacy too.

        That’s pretty expensive. PIA is far less and just as effective and I’m sure there are others.

    Fuck them, I’m not paying for ads, let alone paying more for more ads. I already got rid of my prime months ago, I need to stop supporting amazon anyway.

    That’s why I cancelled my Prime subscription. After that, Amazon randomly re started my Prime subscription, twice; that’s why I deleted my Amazon account.

    Nice I love it. We didn’t stop ads years ago. Content creators deserve to be paid right guys. Right!!

    Maybe the next Internet we can be more proactive. Whenever that is

      I mean yes they deserve to get paid. Do you do stuff for free? I mean it’s funny how people complain about ads but nobody is willing to pay for anything.

        Yeah, people create stuff online without getting paid all the time. We literally built the Internet that way. Go back to the early days forums, blogs, dumb memes, personal websites, fan videos none of that was about money. People made stuff just to share it, to be part of something, or just because they wanted to.

        It’s only after financial incentives got introduced ads, sponsorships, “influencer” money that everything started getting worse. Suddenly it’s all algorithm-chasing. Everyone’s copying each other, following trends, tweaking thumbnails, timing posts. The content got way more polished, surebut also way more boring. It’s all the same stuff over and over.

        So yeah, people deserve to get paid if that’s what they want. But pretending like people only create if they’re paid is just wrong. Humans naturally create. Always have. We write songs, we draw, we tell jokes. Money didn’t start that, it ruined it. It made it a job. It made it about likes and reach and SEO. It turned the internet into a shopping mall.

        Now everything online feels fake. Safe. Recycled. All because the moment you attach money to something, people start optimizing for profit instead of originality. That’s the trade-off.

    Pirated content of course has no advertising in it, so it makes sense to pay good money for a service that has adverts in it or how else am I going to learn about all those fabulous products I just have to buy?
