  • Do you wanna pay for the platform? > no
  • Do you wanna watch ads instead as a way to pay? > no
  • Do you wanna use the platform? > yes Then, find a way to pay for it. People wanting everything for free is the reason for the shitification of the Internet.

And I know it's popular on the Internet and especially on lemmy to hate on capitalism, but it would be the same under any other system > someone has to pay for it (people working on it, hardware, ...) or it won't exist

It's not illegal to control what appears on MY screen.

Never claimed it is. All I said is wanting everything for free plays a big part in the shitification of the Internet because companies need to find a way to pay their costs or even make money.
