I like advertising. I am a lazy leech who cannot justify paying for all of the online services I choose to depend on, or the content I choose to consume.
Advertising is a way to give back to those I choose to associate with, and more importantly, it is probably the way to give back that has the lowest possible barrier of entry to me.
Advertisements are just what I deserve, and what the creators deserve. I have been aware of the option to disable ads in Duckduckgo for quite a while now, but I refuse to take advantage of that option. It makes me sad and frustrated that Kagi does not have the option to pay through ads.
