I wish I could be as pleased with it. I don't want to pay for a service and have that service still collect data on me to push ads elsewhere.

If you block ads everywhere else then it doesn’t really matter. Pi.hole, AdGuard, proton vpn, Firefox will all block ads for you on pretty much every other site on the planet.

Mate, you can't use basically anything today then. Your car probably collects data on you. I'm not saying I love it, but life's too short for me to cut everything trying to collect my data out of my life. Gotta pick and choose my battles.

Unfortunately that's everything. Netflix, buying groceries with a credit card, even driving your new car.

It doesn't have to be this way. Somewhere in the past something went wrong.

No. Nothing went wrong. Just nobody cares how anything works just so long as it does.
