@ariarhythmic @cobweb How is trying to make a living a bullshit excuse?

@ariarhythmic @cobweb No, I'm honestly curious what your solution for indie publishers looks like. You don't want them to collect email addresses ... so I imagine you want ad-supported sites, and don't use an ad blocker?

@ariarhythmic @cobweb idk ... "I don't want ads, and I also don't want to register anywhere" sounds like entitlement to me. But I'm happy for suggestions if you have a magic formula on how to finance a functioning media ecosystem that somehow no one else has thought about ...

@ariarhythmic @cobweb still waiting for you to suggest an alternative. but sure, complaining is always easier ...
