Do you have a better idea? The service isn't worth paying for and they'll STILL spy on you and serve ads, after taking your money.
Ads do nothing but waste the viewer's time and piss them off. Sponsorships are fine, but what moral or ethical right does ANY business have to force any terms on visitors?
Sure, use whatever technical means you want to control your site, but it's not a moral failing of others that a business can't put together a healthy and mutually beneficial business model.
It turns out modern tech businesses are just shit. I wouldn't buy basically anything on offer in this market due to the total obliteration of trust in the market.
You literally cannot trust a Western or US tech company to not try dragging a net over everything you do to gleam some psych data to manipulate.
The best way to get my money is offering a solid product to me that you cannot take away after the fact with cheap parlor tricks like DRM.
