What country are you located in? If you’re actually interested I could do a reship, but I also understand if you’re not as interested given I’m just a random dude on Lemmy :)

After discussing these concerns with the vet we decided to move forward, she’s in this morning. The kittens were one of the main driving points behind making this decision, thank you!

We are in the minority, its pushed so much because it works.

There are some people who are outright influenced, but other times even shoving visuals at the user is enough to subliminally influence to a degree, advertising is all psychology.

That’s why when I remember this when considering compromising and using something with ads. Its never worth the sacrifice, starting to apply the same philosophy to services who subsidize their cost of operating using data. Sure it costs me more but realistically that’s how it should be, there’s no free lunch.
