I just think it doesn't matter. We live in an economy designed to suck every possible penny from every person and pay them the least amount it possibly can, to ensure the enrichment of the 1%
Someone wants to keep a few more bucks in their pocket rather than spend more in some principled stance that will change absolutely nothing anyhow, I'm not going to judge them for it. Life fucking sucks for just about everyone in the US right now, to varying degrees. On the list of things I might judge my fellow man for, that seems ludicrously privileged and self centered.
You don't get to decide who is poor enough for it to be "OK" for them to buy the cheap tier. I mean, sure, you do get to have that opinion of course, but man I'm sorry I think you are really kind of a jerk to have this attitude.
Poor enough in this context is on the spender not me. If they are doing the ad tier because they feel they can't afford it otherwise, fine. I have no qualms with them. It's the hypocrites that rail against the rich for thier money grubbing actions and then turn around and support the ad tier so that they can build wealth themselves that are the problem. You seem to be working harder and harder to make me fit your initial opinion of me rather than letting it go and reform it on new information. If that makes you feel better in your day, glad I could help.
I don't feel it's substantially changed, you've just added more detail. You don't need to care about my opinion though, and I'm not suggesting you should; I'm just sharing how I see it.
