When you like something and want it to succeed, it’s discouraging to see that thing waste its resources. Especially if you contributed those resources.

It sounds like the issue is that you see your payment as a donation, and don't believe the service in and of itself is worth what you pay?

Sort of? You want the thing to exist long-term, so if they're using my monthly payment on bad business decisions then yeah I care because then it won't exist anymore, and I could have spent that money on a more responsible company in the meantime.

There’s a difference between disagreeing with a marketing stunt, and saying "I stopped using them because of that". But I guess that also flew over our heads, dumb as we are.
