No, that would be fine - it’s not really the analogous situation. If the bus were “free” and you paid by spending 30 seconds watching an ad, disabling the device showing you the ad would be bad, not paying attention would be fine.

Of course disabling the device would be bad, as it is somebody else property.

However the bus service is, at least in part, subsidised by ads. So, while not free, exactly, it is cheaper.
