Yes I use graphine OS on a Google pixel and have nearly all FOSS apps. The few apps I can't get FOSS I cut off network access to. (Alwsome graphine OS feature)
On my home computer I use uBlock, sponserblock, and I have a piehole running.
My ethics on this mimic that of modern multiplayer games. Games make a much larger amount of money praying those willing to dump hundreds into cosmetic items so now the game is free for me. Eg. leage, overwatch, apex, halo etc. . .
I see other distributed content in this same way. If someone love a content creator so much that they will drop money on merch, or patron good for them. They make up the majority of the money the content creator makes anyway so I don't really lose sleep over it.
When I first got on lemmy I joined lemmy.ml because 90% of what I used reddit for was for technology subs. ml is clearly a not about tech if you spend three minutes there and your better going to lemmy.world
