I block ads but only because they became super egregious and are a threat vector in some cases. My default state is “oblivious idiot”. It’s not that I’m not susceptible to marketing, it’s that by the time I notice it you’ve already broken the web page I’m on and now I hate you.
It would be funny if all of the ads are for fake products, and just meant to be as annoying as possible to push people into subscriptions. That would explain all the poorly-acted piano lesson app ads.

Those people would pay for ad-free.

No they wouldn’t. I’m of those people. I don’t pay for ad free.

Some would, but it always surprises me to see how many people don’t appear to be bothered by ads.

people have the ability to tune things out. ads never bother me.

The thing with ads is, even if they dont consciously bother you, they still rot your brain.
