I feel the same. I don’t do ads. If a product doesn’t have an ad-free product that I’m willing to pay for, then that product doesn’t exist for me. Similarly, if a paid product decides to introduce ads (I’m looking at you Amazon) I’m immediately cancelling.
Half the point of ads these days isn’t to advertise to you, it’s to piss you off enough to upgrade to a paid plan. If they happen to also make money from the adverts, then that’s just an added bonus.
A lot of higher end credit cards also include protection against this kind of thing as well.
I highly doubt that was an accident…
Let me introduce you to simple login. Take that same concept and apply it to literally everything you do online. Never deal with spam again.
