    Ads are egregious attempts at brainwashing you into buying something. Blocking ads is morally correct. If something relies on ads, then its business model is broken.

      Also: pirate paid products until you figure out if it’s worth it’s money. Also, buy exclusively software without anti-consumer practices and DRM (games on GOG, Bandcamp), also pirate capitalist propaganda movies like Marvel, Hollywood stuff if you like watching it.

      Also, buy used hardware, since almost all the hardware companies are extremely into neoliberal capitalism.

      While DELL makes great laptops, I’ll never buy a new product from them.
