this is why i use ad blockers regardless. if they block the internet for me then it was never worth anything in the first place. basically like social media gas lighting and banning users for speaking political truth because it threatens their stock.
Issue a chargeback.
This kind of shenanigans are the exact benefit of credit cards. You’re no longer getting what the merchant sold you. You didn’t agree to this.
They will in all likelihood ban your credit card and terminate your account, but this harms them a fuck ton more than just cancelling.

Never stopped pirating gang, pop out.
I’m so glad this hasn’t been an issue in my life for the last 20ish years.
When I stay in a hotel now I get legitimately offended by commercials. I actually find them offensive.
Same, I stop watching anything with a commercial outside of Golf. Which is background viewing anyway, simultaneously inundated with commercials, the irony isnt lost here, but I like golf and it’s the only time I can handle it.
Ive also started reading novels again, just mentally preparing for the inevitable break away from all streaming/reinvented cable bundling bullshit. Video games aren’t far behind either which is my true last bastion
The commercials are free dude
So stop paying them. It really is that easy.
The line must go up.
Likewise when you download a free app whose ad explicitly says, “No ads!” and it does, in fact, have ads.
Society will never improve until we make all forms of advertising a capital offense.
i’ve never paid for an app.
not sure why anyone does.
I pay for apps to support the developer, so the app continues to be developed
Especially if I get to disable any advertising and tracking as part of that
