Way, way too many websites. I have to research all of them just to use one? I have choice paralysis! The corporations are right, I shouldn't be trusted to make decisions for myself, and the internet should be like cable.
I mean META is actually doing this! #aBoringDystopia
65% of Nigerians, and 61% of Indonesians agree with the statement that "Facebook is the Internet"
This is extremely worrying.

Well of course.

I used to want this unironically, id pay $30 a month to not see any ads AT ALL. However my mind has changed. I now see ad companies as immoral and, quite frankly, evil.
I would rather not only not give them money, but I choose to use a Ublock Origin fork AdNauseam that 'clicks' on all the ads. This seems counter intuitive, but since some advertisers pay per click so clicking a total of a combined 10,000 advertisements on my desktop/laptop/steam deck/whatever costs them a LOT of money, and I've bought 0 products from advertisements because i haven't seen any advertisements!
The best part is that you get an image of all the ads. It's super cool to look and see what they want you to buy and you can play the guessing game of "What Was My ADHD Ass Looking At?!"
(this SS is from ~2 months in iirc, now I'm ~6-10 months in, I'll have to check when I get home.)
It's fucked when the unlimited option in this meme is less then I pay for internet now. I pay over 200 a month just for the fucking internet. Fuck Cox cable and shit choices I don't have in my town.
Fuck that is expensive. £24/month here and I use 4G so I can take my router anywhere and it just works.
Christ, I knew Australian ISP pricings were exy but that's absurd.
I'm looking at going to a 500 / 250? (Might be 100 up) Plan for around 140 AUD per month, I'd much rather have symmetrical Gbit but that's well put of my price range.
$200 USD is around $315 AUD currently, that's a whole ballpark of fucked up.
Yes it is. But that is the price to have gigabyte internet with unlimited data. Unfortunately without that it cost me more than 200 a month. Because they charge 50 dollars every gig you go over your data cap. So I pay 100 bucks so we don't. Because I have 3 gamers in the house streams.
I tried to go lower but every fucking time I get nailed with the limit and end up 300 dollar bills. It's shit but all I can get here.
I'd never heard of AdNauseam; does it replace uBlock entirely? Is it possible to run both?
Just run adnauseam on its own. I use it too, my thinking is that I am going to be tracked anyway. So instead of trying and almost certainly failing at avoiding it, you just overwhelm them with so much random data that it becomes worthless.
Makes sense, thanks!
It is literally a fork of uBO
Got it, thanks for clarifying.
It's already like this in many countries in Asia. They offer data pacakages that are 50GB (for example) for social media data , and only 1GB for regular internet
my former ukrainian data plan only had 100mb per day, but 10gb on Youtube and unlimited social media (e.g. facebook and reddit + messenger apps like viber, signal and telegram)
to be fair, its not the norm here and it was cheap af back when i was using it (around 1-2$/mo while all other data plans were over 4-6$)
also i was using a vpn with an ssn spoofing feature to make it think all of the websites/services i was visiting were Youtube (that only worked for tcp traffic tho, not udp so no gaming)
and was using telegram bots to download flarge files (there are bots that will take a url and will either return a file located there or a rendered web page)
Damn thats rad! I will try this! I need to do this! Worst caee senario the ISP might block me if they found out xD
They offer data pacakages that are 50GB (for example) for social media data , and only 1GB for regular internet
In fairness, social media and streaming are absolute data hogs. I could get by very easily with 1GB for the old school message board internet of the early '00s.
No idea how anyone uses internet for business purposes, though.
Yes, but only the social media that paid to be included in the plan in the first place. That just continues monopolies.

I must be stupid for not realizing a whitelist ISP implementation, I always imagined it would be more like a blacklist.
I thought about it, but immediately dismissed it cause they would lose their entire user base. It would be far too complex to have whitelist based access, as soon as anyone realized how restrictive it is they would bail
It's kind of interesting to think about it in practice because on one hand the number of ISPs is limited in many areas, taking away the competitive choice, but on the other hand the opportunity to pull this stunt has been around for years in places like the USA and nobody has succeeded so far.
It's been essentially tried since near the beginning with AOL. Their dialup service required you to have their branded browser (customized Internet Explorer) open to stay connected. On that browser you could only connect to sites in their walled garden whitelist.
Luckily, you could just minimize their browser and open regular IE or Netscape to bypass it.
Where the fuck is all the usefull stuff, it's only socials? Where's maps, or a shared drive
$100/month tier of course
What's the alternative to the corporate web? Tor? Usenet?
If the full extent of this kind of internet existed, Tor would be completely irrelevant on it. Imagine that there essentially are no other sites than what's approved by isps. It's the cable model.
Not that such a wild vision of the internet has any chance of taking hold now days. The point of the thread was to make fun of the people who are complaining about lemmy providing too much choice.
They can't stop people from hosting private servers or creating protocols for bypassing restrictions. And even if they did, things like SSH and remote desktop would be completely useless, but those are necessary for maintaining even the corporate web.
Worst case, could have regional intranets. Like people just connect their routers with eachother. Sneakernet over large media between disconnected regions.
But that's me getting way ahead of myself.
This looks like a lot of fun :)
We'll need a critical mass of well distributed nerds to make this happen.
I was talking to someone online who is in Ghana and this is how it is there.
Snapchat belongs in the free tier.
Anyone else remember AOL Keywords? Lol
Crap, I'd have to get the everything package. Only due to not using any of those platforms but YouTube. Even that I could live without.
