In the end, I don't think it matters. People care about accessing what's used most and if they have to watch ads to do so, they will. If "no ads" starts to have a competitive advantage because people are sick and tired of them, then maybe ads will start to die. We're a long way from that though.

What about us who will never want to see any ads ever in our life? Can these companies force fed them to us and we kind of just accept that?
They already do in public.🤮 I'll fight them as long as I can on my own computer though.
Gotta wait till augmented reality becomes a common thing like smartphones so you can use an adblocker software to hide ads to your eyes in public, haha.
I'm dreaming of an ad-free vision technology
