And I mind that paying forces me to give my credit card to a companies that have proven to work against me.
I mind that google will take over my entire phone if I connect to any service with a google account because I paid for it and not just login to that single service.
I mind that it will collect all that data if I don't have an adblocker anyway, just not show me ad, and then give it to gov entities (see PRISM).
What I don't mind is paying. I pay for spotify, for neflix, for dynalist, for kagi, for chatgpt, for codepilot, for github...
But I do mind that many people like you on HN accuses us of being dishonest.
