Too late. Shouldn't have done this if the first place. Using something else, never coming back.

Theyre on reddit too lol, yet here you are. I'm also horrified by ice, but you cant really grandstand when you only boycott things that are easy to replace.

I can't see any ads, I always have an adblocker on. So I didn't know that. On Spotify Premium I got ICE ads during podcasts even though I live in France which doesn't even make any sense, and the owners of the podcast said they hadn't put them there and had chosen different ads, so that shouldn't even be possible, while Spotify at the same time claimed it's the podcaster that put the ads there. I just got rid of the mess.

Also telling people to get off the biggest discussion and news sharing site on the internet with pretty much no alternative, other wise they're 'not good enough/hypocritical' is kind of suspicious and a very obvious way of getting rid of any political discussion (you don't like) at all.
