the result of "free" (as in no cost) = ads in paper publications and ads + tracking + targeted ads online.

I remember when I was younger that newspaper was an actual newspaper with "some" ads inside. Now the newspaper is basically the wrapping for the ads. Considering that you're meant to have like 3 bins and a yellow bag for recycling in Germany this is pretty daft. But, you get to pay for all the recycling.

yep. sad isn't it. i. think the ad laden papers should have to pay for the recycling tbh.

Agreed. I also have a "no flyers, no advertisement" on my mailbox (meant to be legally binding, lol). Not that they would care, they drop it anyway.

burn it
