What are you surprised that people pay for, when there are free alternatives in existence? (kbin.melroy.org)

I was going through my Wal-Mart+ subscription plan that I got for free and I saw their offers. One of which was EMeals, that was a 60-day trial. I thought that this was like Blue Apron or other meal delivery services so I thought I'd take a crack at it and hope that it would get me on a path to eat better.

Turns out, it's just a meal planner. And it's absurd to me why and how would anyone pay for something when there are countless and countless recipes and meal planners readily available for free. Who'd the fuck would want to pay for a planner? That's like paying for a calendar app.

YouTube premium.

Just get uBlock or revanced.

Okay, to preface I really hate giving Google money, but I hate ads more, and paying for Premium also removes ads on YouTube apps across platforms. It also in some minuscule way rewards the creators I watch, but real support comes from Patreon.

Yeah I'm with you. I know there's some way to block ads on any device if you are really dedicated but I don't want to get a PHD in ad blocking just to not have ads on YT on my phone

Install Revanced, it's literally better than the vanilla youtube app because you can customize basically everything

I can’t find it on iOS

*you can't find it in the app store / apple safe space. If you're in Europe, you can sideload apps. Otherwise, you might need an upgrade
