This could be a Black Mirror episode. A sentient ad that felt pain when skipped fighting to avoid pain. It would have no option than to try to get around ad-blockers and be sneaky and feel bad about annoying users, but the alternative is pain.

I think this would imply that ads are living beings. Since they had no part in their own creation, you would just be hurting them for something they have no control over, which is what they were created for.
Now if we could hurt the marketing team and executives who created the ads, that would be a different story
