Just cancelled my subscription, which was set to renew next month.

On top of this, there was a message when I logged in specifying that the price of a premium subscription was increasing.

More money just to watch ads? No thank you.

Trans rights are popular. When presented without culture war bullshit they just are.
AI/LLM models and the resulting data centers have massive popular movements against them.

Democratic advisors yelling anything but those two facts are actively lying for a paycheck from a compromising source.

A plant powering Elon Musk's data centers in the Memphis region is so loud, residents say they're losing sleep.

This has caused their property values to plummet, so many of them can't afford to leave.
