We let it happen. You either put your foot down at the first instance of this thing or you lose any ability to do it because it eventually gets so big you can’t stop it without some whole new technology. But there’s always going to be people who say “how else are people going to pay for websites if not advertising” I say not my fucking problem. Just like robbing my free time with bullshit ads wasn’t their problem.

  I am a strong proponent of finding other hobbies, but I have never been a fan of tv in general

  I really which torrents would move to i2p. There’s just not enough available there to make it feasible for direct streaming.

The creator of the radio and even the US government were wary of the idea of introducing ads into American living rooms, but look at us now.
