I don't have a dog in this fight, but Zyns have been around 10+ years now and dip has been around much longer, which is the same size can. That said, one might argue the dip is also indicative of a cop, as many chew since they can't smoke on the job.

I have a hot take. I pretty much exclusively watch YouTube as my form of TV entertainment. On most days, I watch many hours between putting something on to go to sleep or actually watching stuff in the day such as training courses or whatever. Sure, I could easily set up my TVs and devices to work around it, but I think it's actually worth it to just pay for Premium and not have the hassle. I feel I get more than my fair share out of it.
I tend to make a .bak file before changes. There is nothing worse than fixing one config item only to realize later something else broke and not being sure what it was that changed and no easy way to revert. I'm guilty of having many .bak configs that are poorly named. I hadn't heard of etckeeper before. That looks real handy for me. Thanks for sharing
I think the price is a far better deal than Netflix. Even when I had Netflix, basically all I watched was Breaking Bad. Shows I like or want to view now just live on my media server. It came to a point I couldn't find anything interesting to watch and cancelled it. I don't remember the last time I watched an actual movie. There is so much more than I'll ever have the time to watch on Youtube. If they want to use what I watch to attempt to show me ads I'm very likely never going to see elsewhere, I honestly don't care. They are going to try to show me ads which will almost certainly get blocked, anyway. I'm not watching anything on Youtube I wouldn't mind telling anyone about anyway.
I don't feel scammed, and it impacts my day-to-day life in no ways aside from saving me time having to fiddle with my network for 30 minutes every time an actual video won't load because I'm trying to block a 30-second ad at the router.
Netflix also sells data to 3rd party marketing services.
