I’d much much much rather watch ads for products that are not the least relevant to me. I’m not going to be an active participant in my own manipulation. I’d rather be annoyed.
Comment on YouTube is slowing down for users with ad blockers in new wave

But they just get less money from me, because I remove all non organic ads. Would non organic ads be less annoying, they could sell more shit to me.

Paying attention to your needs/desires takes work. They don't want to work, they just want, "MORE!"

Not really, they are clearly spending money and resources to grab my attention and it’s not like the work is done by people who are profiting in the end anyway. Than again - I’m rather anti consume to begin with, so maybe people like me are not a valuable market to beginn with, which is fair.

We are the more aware portion of the public.
Take a look at public linear tv for a while during prime time.
Ad breaks every 30min with a cliffhanger in the movie.
Atrocious.
