I'm a heavy AdBlock user, I pay for YT premium, and I paid Nebula for 2 years, also I try to buy some albums on Bandcamp even with YT music subscription. What more they do want?

And I do use referral codes for the content creators I do like. My Amazon referrals do still work.

As a mostly software backend dev I even visualize the JS guy saying "it's solved" when he forgets to tell that the correct choice is to do the counting on the backend, period. Not hacking a crappy JS snippet calling a different host.

I obviously ask for more time to make sure it's reliable.

I literally saw something similar happening around some years ago in a adjacent team I was working.

I want to pay with money, not attention. Both at the same time? Non negotiable.
