I had a similar change of heart years ago, watching a docu-series on PBS and realizing I wanted more of that content in the world. Even though you can stream PBS for about $5 a month, I canceled Netflix so I could pay PBS $20 a month to start making up for all the time my money was flowing in the wrong direction.
We're likely to get more of the things we invest in, and less of the things we don't. That investment includes attention in ad-driven market, not only money.
I know I'm not the first person on lemmy to have this realization, it's one of the many reasons I like it here.
