Fine, I will stop consuming whatever it is they are putting the ads in front of then.
Books in the library don’t come with ads. But let’s be real I will just emulate old video games on my PC until I perish.
Comment on i truly believe that there's an open war between Humanity vs. Advertisers and their allies.

One day ads will be unskippable, unless you get a 22 hr AdPass by watching 60 minutes of uninterrupted ads while eyeball tracking software monitors your attention. You will get mini games where you need to sing along or high five a friend. You can get an instant AdPass by purchasing the featured product.

They’re working on defunding the library already.
Left unchallenged, they’ll start inserting ads at your work, where you don’t control the devices. Mark my words. B2B ad and surveillance tech. The profiles will get dumped into the same data lakes, for thirsty ad ghouls to lap at. Just one big web of corporate iniquity, where they sell each other shit no one needs or wants.
Left unchallenged, anyway.
Some time ago I thought of something: one day they will invent some bullshit that maybe they will call “Proactive Advertising”, which is basically that instead of advertising a product, they will force you to buy it in order to continue enjoying a service. “Buy a Coke for 20 minutes without ads. Buy a Six pack for one hour” and so on.

The next logical step is to use chat gpt to retroactively add product placement to existing novels. The enshittification will follow you.
