Guess people have a natural aversion to paying for someone else to not do something. It kind of makes sense.

I mean arguably you're not even paying them to not do something, you're paying them to make it easier for you to not do something, and to not complain when you refrain from doing so.

The web is weird when you try to insist on the original meaning of 'user-agent'.
