It’s open source and not owned by an evil corporation. It doesn’t have ads. It doesn’t mine my data and sell it to the highest bidder. It doesn’t have AI shoved in every nook and cranny. It’s much lighter to run. I can easily run it on a 10 year old laptop.
I think I can handle the ads part, but the ‘lighter’ part, thats a good one.
Serious question: Why can you handle the ads? I’m serious. Why do you accept that something you have purchased, something you own, should be pushing ads at you? Broadcast services makes some sense, they have to make money somewhere. But something you bought? Why?

corporations then sneak it in for an extra buck because they can.
Not just about delivering ads but also to track your browsing history across different sites and devices. This is why their installing flock camera alprs to capture your device signal and correlate it with things like Bluetooth headphones, smart watch, even your tire pressure monitoring system. Basically anything with RF signals.
Its called ELSAG Signal Trace and their everywhere now for use by law enforcement.

It’s not light if it has ads.
Ads are bloat aswell.
