No but I'm not going to pay Google for anything. It's obscene to give them even more money.
Whether you think that service is worth it or not is up to you.
But don't act like you have some moral high ground here and that people who are actually paying for a service that you are stealing from and a service that actually shares revenue with it's content creators and encourages independent creators are just corporate shills.
Some of us are adults and realize things cost money and not entitled children that expect everything for free.
And some of us are adults that don't have your innate need to wield your moral high ground like a smug pedantic asshole.
I am not the one calling anyone who isn't pirating a corporate shill.
And yet that's obivously not what this thread's context was before you started self-jerking to moral superiority.
Have some self awareness.
This isn't a Wendys Drive Thru.
Here, since you have difficulty following, let me copy where the original thread started.
I am not the one who started the moral superiority, I just disagreed at being called a "corporate shill" before a bunch of insecure assholes started losing their shit.
Maybe try having self awareness yourself before suggesting it to someone else.
Self inserting as a main character to claim you've been attacked so you can shill your moral superiority is the cherry on top of your bullshit sundae.
