    You don’t need to do anything, just keep on using the FOSS apps. It’s all good. It’s all about having choice.

    The content isn’t really “free” the people running the servers need to be paid also. If nobody would donate or they don’t use any other form of getting funds, the servers wouldn’t last.

    Sync just provides a way to get to content in a nice polished way, at least that’s how experience it. I could watch ads but I paid for a more better experience.

    Both need to make money to eat and keep things running.

    When you take a taxi to see a movie, nobody thinks that the taxi driver shouldn’t be paid.
