Ok. I choose "pay more for the stuff I use".

  Good. Now the goal is to get people (in the aggregate) to do so.

    First of all, service providers have to give me a choice. Even if they offer a paid subscription it doesn't automatically mean they don't store personal information about me. These things would have to be part of the contract and I haven't seen many such contracts. Right now, I don't feel I have any other choice but to block the trackers as aggressively as possible. I hope there will be better solutions in the future, because I really want to pay for services I like.

      Oh? Can I demand subscription services offer me an ad-supported version because I don't want to pay the monthly fee? After all, these service providers 'have to give me a choice'. No one has to give you anything. Where does your sense of entitlement come from? If you don't like the way a service is offered, your other choice is not to use it.

        You seem to have missed the parent posts. I'm not saying unconditionally that service providers have to give me a particular choice. Of course they don't have to. What I'm saying is that IF I am to choose option X that option has to be available to me, otherwise I cannot possibly choose it. And most of the time it is not available.

          Yep, you're right - glossed over too much of the grey in the thread. Sorry for the early-morning invective.
