I remember the BBS's, Compuserve, AOL, and the Internet before (ubiquitous) advertising. It was fun yet spartan.
In light of the alternatives (like paying for everything with discrete purchase or subscriptions), I'd prefer that advertising survive. Ideally with less invasive ways of detecting my interests.
My intention is certainly not to gaslight anyone. Not sure how you came to that conclusion.
Full disclosure, I work for a paywall SAAS.
