Canceling my subscription, hope to be back soon — Mars

Everything Earth-based is out the door as we Martians try to support intergalactic trade.

Something many Martians are doing in solidarity while Earth keeps hoarding oxygen and minerals.

Look, I get it — canceling Netflix and Prime? Easy peasy, barely an inconvenience. Those giants won't even blink. But Dropout? That stings. I feel like I'm breaking up with the only people who ever understood me. The only people I ever loved. I'm giving up on the chance for them to let me know how much they love me back.

But this isn't about logic. It's about principle. A bold stand against... something? Earth? Capitalism? I don’t know, man, I just want to say my Martian dollars are staying in Mars. I’ll hit up local shows and support indie creators hustling in the dust. Maybe my family helps launch the next Martian comedy revolution. Maybe not. But at least I can proudly say Earth's oligarchy won't be profiting off of me.

Yeah, I know this isn't going to make a dent in the universe. And I know I'm typing this on a massive Earth-based social media platform that actively harvests my data for Earth’s ad overlords. Hypocrisy? Never heard of her.

But hey, at least I won’t be performing for real activism, right?

Anyway, fuck Earth. Fuck Earth’s gravitational pull. See you in the stars.
