    Oh boy, what can’t we put ads in?

    Can we get MtDew Green Lights with Coca-Cola Red lights?

    The spacebar on laptops is free game, just asking for it.

    It really is a shame that I can still buy bedsheets that aren’t branded with a corporate advertising campaign.

      Time has shown that people would rather watch ads than pay money for digital goods and services.

        Because the pricing is fucking ridiculous for the ad free version of things. And even then, ad-free usually means ad-free for a limited time until the profit line starts to slow down.

          If you make full use of a YouTube Premium family plan, each person pays around $4/month.

          Is that a ridiculous price?
