  • I’ve done a lot of work to make sure i don’t get ads in my various types of media. Because i rarely see them, i feel like i have less patience for them now. If it ever comes to the point where i can’t use youtube without seeing ads, I’ll just not use it anymore.

    Google won’t mind seeing me go; they only see people as ad revenue or data points, and they’re not really getting either from me.

















  • I generally don’t use cash for anything.

    However, I do purchase from farmers’ markets or local artisans fairly regularly. For the most part, they can take card via a cell phone-connected device, but there is also an understanding that they have to pay a percentage of the sale to the credit card company. I, and I think other regulars, often carry cash for these occasions.

    Venmo and similar apps are another option, but they also want a cut if it’s a business sale, so some sellers prefer to steer clear of them as well.
