Tried to support the industry by buying a movie a watch a lot. Well, no more. If I need a pihole just to watch a movie I own, that's ridiculous.

"It also enables the delivery of advertising content"

They already paid for the product! Double-dipping assholes

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 40 points 5 days ago

triple-dipping, they also get your data.

I wonder if these people think everyone wants to be advertised to.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 69 points 5 days ago

I don't think they care

[–] natecox@programming.dev 31 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No, I am 100% certain they know that the vast majority of people don’t care and some people really really hate it, but nobody actually enjoys it.

Someone I know who is currently on a pseudoscience and conspiracy theory arc genuinely believes that personalized ads are good because then you can easily buy things you know you'll like

Some people will bend over backwards for a nibble of the corporate boot

Some people are allergic to researching their purchases

[–] natecox@programming.dev 6 points 5 days ago

Guess there’s no accounting for stupid.

[–] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No no, you see. You didn't pay for the product but the license for the product. Now it makes sense, right?

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago

I don't understand. Maybe a set of adverts would help me?
