I have zero problems with this on Lineage. ?? No spoofing either, just Lineage.

Oh im not defending it. Just saying we’ve been well-fed geese for a very long time now. It has just changed from cramming us full of the Tootsie Pop Owl and the Doublemint Twins with a chaser of Sears Christmas Catalog to a succotash of targeted ads.

I had no idea this was going on. Is it because I’m running Lineage?

No different than the decades of ad supported broadcast television.

How expensive is expensive? And you usually can’t just buy a single license, right? You have to have an enterprise agreement and buy some minimum number.
