Why don’t you just cancel it now and use ad blockers?

Joel explains this in the second sentence: "I’m OK with it, especially considering that it supports creators more than ad viewers"

I mean you can probably support all the creators you like in other ways: Buying merch, donating onetime, signing up for a patreon, subscribing to nebula (if they are on there), ...

Buying merch

don't create waste... unless you will actually use this "merch" just give them cash if you really care.

why do people need to involve some third party. you like their work, pay them cash money.

reminds of boomers with their "gift" cards lol
