If I use an adblocker under FF they don’t push ads either, while Google still make record profits quarter over quarter using my personal data.
If we use Spotify as an example of modern corporate culture, it’s deemed acceptable that they effectively rob artists if rightful income using a pricing structure that equates to a couple of cents in the dollar for the artist - While Spotify themselves pocket a vast proportion of profits. But if I use an adblocker on the free version of Spotify, I’m going against their terms and conditions and robbing Spotify of ‘rightful income’.
In certain countries, Spotify have actually pulled their service as a result of being told they have to overhaul their pricing structure to renumerate artists fairly if they want to provide their service in the country in question.
The hipocracy regarding modern corporate culture and service pricing is extreme. If such a perspective is good enough for the service provider, it’s good enough for me.
