Google already gains so much money from their data-mining, privacy-violating spree on almost every person on the Earth. For me, they can burn to the ground, and I'll very happily take their service free of charge.
For me, it's not just getting something for free, it is rather a who am I giving this money away?. I'll happily give Lichess, a Lemmy stance, community projects, FOSS projects, etc. my support, financial or not, but Google, a company I completely view as unmoral, can happily go fuck itself.
View it this way: The Coca-Cola Company killed a bunch of workers in my country (Coca-Cola killings) because they were demanding better working conditions, so I'll do as much as possible to prevent giving them money, and making them lose money would be quite nice.
