Nah I'd have to disagree in that statement entirely. TV Stations are ad companies. It isn't shows with commercials every now and then, it's the other way around.
And have you read a Magazine in the last 30 years? They're entirely ads, including sponsored content.
If it's anything like LibReddit, then public instances are slowly breaking due to the hgh API calls. Private ones seem to make a small enough amount that they go under their radar.
Only janky solution I know of is to use a Raspberry Pi (or other computer) to run Kodi or Android TV. You can then point your TV's DNS to a PiHole or other DNS filter to stop tracking/ads.
Apple. I wouldn't use their products if they were free.
Roblox. As a parent, I'm not about to support a casino for kids. As a hobbyist game developer, I won't support their exploitation of developers either.
Lotteries. Im not against gambling in general, but I sure am against emotional manipulation, and taking advantage of those who don't understand math.
I find the lack of a 10-key pad disturbing.
