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
I wonder if these people think everyone wants to be advertised to.
I don't think they care
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
I've bought things from personalized ads before. But mostly they're annoying. And creepy.

askldjfals;jflsad;sadly, i too heard that from somebody 🤷
Guess there’s no accounting for stupid.
Some people are allergic to researching their purchases
triple-dipping, they also get your data.
No no, you see. You didn't pay for the product but the license for the product. Now it makes sense, right?
I don't understand. Maybe a set of adverts would help me?
