Don't use free websites! (VPNs, Porn, Games, Facebook, YouTube... etc)

Let's talk about all the modern day internet scams: pretty much everything that is free!

Why would you spend $1000 on a fast computer and then try to save $100 (or 10%) by getting a cracked game/software?? That free program is gonna end up slowing your computer down with malware/viruses by more than 10%... so you are actually at a loss :(

Tbh, if you hold any crypto you should NOT use your work computer for any shady websites, since you risk losing all your crypto to some malware you might get from saving a few dollars on free porn 😂

I just wanna rant about all the free shit that you shouldn't use, and where I think crypto will come into play by making monetization & subscription services easier

Enjoy :)

If it's free its because you're the product, there are no free lunches, while you might not see or feel what you're paying for (privacy or data) as such a bad thing to give up to connect with the service then honestly that's you're own fault and you shouldn't complain about these sites.

I can see more and more people leaving free sites now and its from the higher LSM's people with money and these sites are going to be stuck with a user base that will not see advertisers get a return on ROI. Its the users with money that keep these ecosystems afloat.

Once they defect you will see the whole thing start to unravel, we're already seeing it with Googles programmatic network which is why they focusing on putting more ads on mobile, in google images and pushing google shopping since first-party ads cannot be blocked...yet or without some help and basic coding knowledge

Nothing is free in this world. Everything has a trade off. In this case it is pennies saved for invaluable data gifted to those businesses. Just like school should teach financial responsibility they should be teaching data safety. Things that have serious bearing on today's youth.

I absolutely concor to your idea here, for everything that is free has a limit, so it is always better to enjoy quality but expensive item than enjoying cheaper items. Thank you for your submission!
