So you don't use google, youtube, reddit, stackoverflow or any service that you already know is ad supported, because it will not be worth your time or data, correct?
I use all of those sites, because I am not forced to view the adverts. Just like I sometimes even block or alter certain content on websites that I visit. The server is hosting the files, but I am never forced to display a web element in my browser. I do what I want with it.
If you want to use those sites you must allow their ads to load in your browser. It's in their terms of service. Do you block the ads while using the services or don't you?
