> When you don't want the ads and privacy invasion, you don't visit the website.

First of all, I can and will visit any website I want, and I will use an ad blocker while doing so. Second - how do you know what ads and privacy invasion a website might have before you visit it? Makes no sense.

> Like if a video game is too expensive for your liking, you simply don't buy it. Going and pirating it is not a valid response

In either case the creator gets zero $. It could be argued that pirating might actually benefit the creator more - since it would increase overall usage/adoption/prevalence of the product/game. So your argument is kinda backwards.

> This idea that digital data is worthless is stupid child logic born from when kids ruled the internet.

You keep mentioning 'kids' and 'teenagers' across your comments seemingly as a way to imply that you have some kind of greybeard wisdom and special knowledge. You don't and your arguments don't make sense - your own realization of that is probably what triggers you to call everyone who disagrees with your kids and teenagers LMAO.

And for the record - intellectual property is a made up scam, the only purpose of which is to stifle competition.
