I notice a major trend of all the largest companies majorly shooting themselves in the stock with turbo greed, even more greed than normal. I feel like we're on the verge of a stock market slaughter.

"maximum ads", "X basic necessity as an investment", "price gouge everything via cartels/monopolies" and "X as a service" are the death nails of the current economic order.

It's everything.

Watch advertising that is an annoyance to have to wait through and won't sway your purchasing decisions in any way, or pay us more money than you would ever consider it worth it to have the no advertisement version.

Oh and we will track your every move on our service so we can work out the best way to ~~gouge your eyes out~~ extract the most money from you in the future.

Legit makes me want to sit down and create "advertising and data tracking free land" to live in. I guess that's a tropical island in the Pacific.

to have the no advertisement version.

You mean, "to have the less advertisement version".
