I have started to actively avoid brands, journalists etc. who still use Twitter as their primary social media presence.

One important thing to add is that the refund is offered by Valve, not by Rockstar.

Watch live TV.

In my country (Australia) live TV is ad-infested and most programs are reality TV garbage, so I stay away from it. I use a combination of Freetube + Peertube and it works for me.
