The content of a website isn’t an extension of your property.

No, but it is my property which is to be used to store files that this company has put there, just so they can track me across the web to sell me more crappy shit I do not need.

So exactly how should content (regardless of how trashy it is) be funded?

With ads, but either be good and use ads that arent spyware, or let me choose to opt out of the tracky ones and use general ads instead.

Meanwhile, not visiting websites that don’t meet your vision for how funding content should be done seems like a perfectly simple and reasonable approach to have for this problem.

Yup, hence why I noped outta there as soon as I saw that popup cause fuuuck that…
