Its interesting. You talk to my generation and older and they see the ads as invasive. They grew up with less because of TV. And it wasnt really targetted/personalised like internet ads. Younger people, say mid 20s and under dont realise how many ads those are. I reminds me of the rights people lose over the years because people werent educated on matters.

TV? The platform that basically is one giant ad? This is the most confusing comment.

Depends what country you’re from. Here in Australia ads range from zero to a reasonable amount.

Yea makes sense. Network and cable TV in the US is and always has been about 50/50 ads to content. It’s horrendous to watch. And probably explains why some sizable number of Americans will always pay to go ad free if it’s an option.
