i had an annoying proprietary vpn for work that was unwittingly compatible with the openvpn client

yes okay dad

it’s actually super common for underground music. I have a collection of new music on cassette. it costs a lot of money to press vinyl, and a lot of bands just aren’t there.

yea

maybe in the future a service offers a flat monthly fee to not have any ads and distributes the money to all of the content platforms that would otherwise show ads. basically it’s like a little government taxing users and giving the money to the capital owning class all over again
