I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:

"If you use adblock, you don't care about creator's point blank"

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

...or to a diabetic person whose health plan does not cover all the insulin cost they need.

I should have specified that I was referring to superfluous stuff.

For basic needs like education and health, any cost is too expensive. That should be sponsored by the whole society and government, and be free.

In some cases, they are. My bachelor's degree (5 years Engineering) costed me zero (in monetary units). Even the printed material was free, from the uni printhouse.

We also have the largest free universal health care system in the world, and it's even pretty decent in some regions of the country (Brazil).
