I don't want to be marketed to. I want an open society built on open technology that I can use for free and modify without asking anyone else's permission.
I would rather go without something than to pay for it and give up my freedom. For example, I choose to live without a car or even a driver's license.
I am not a resource for you to exploit.

I don't want to be marketed to, what I want is other developers to recommend a product to me.
