The best part is that I'm paying for that privilege when I'm not on WiFi.

Remarkable, isn’t it? A bit like paying for cable and getting more ads than content. Puts that recent post on auto play videos in new light, too.

It really sickens me how advertisers are allowed to tell us whatever they want if they just pay. Not surprisingly, the CCP took out a full page ad in my country’s most prominent newspaper to spread propaganda about the Hongkong protests.

Datacaps are some of the best examples of the worst kind of rip-offs.

How they're tolerated is beyond my imagination. Here I can get a 100/50 4G consistently, it's for ~20€/mo and the operators have no complaints
