I'm far more annoyed by paying for cable TV (or streaming services) and still getting ads. In any event, paying for a product with ads has always been part of the print media/news business. If you look at old free print papers (like the Village Voice), the volume of ads is enormous compared to something like the Times. Granted, if you want both digital and daily home delivery now, it's $40/mo. It's $17/mo now for the digital-only version. In fact, way back in 1990, the New York Times cost $5/week for home delivery. That adds up to more than the current monthly fees for the online versions. About 30 years ago, when physical newspapers were still more popular than virtual newspapers, you'd pay about 50 cents for the daily edition and $1.50 for the Sunday edition. This annoys me too, because I dislike ads, but to be fair, newspapers and magazines have always had ads as their primary revenue source, and also almost always charged for the print copy as well. I will NEVER buy the products that they are advertising even if it did fit my personality or needs. Block pop-ups and annoying ads on websites like Facebook and YouTube. As it stands, I get bombarded with so much unwanted things that I actively hate the things they spew at me. Adblock Plus, the most popular ad blocker on Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Android and iOS. If they were better at their job I wouldn't even know they existed. The Ad companies are really doing this to themselves. uBlock Origin Get this Extension for Firefox (fa) uBlock Origin Raymond Hill by Recommended. So, I'm forced into blocking everything I can, whenever and wherever I can.

Yet, YouTube is chock full of Truck, Beer, and Football commercials I guess just because I'm a middle aged man and that's what "we" like. I was really hopeful that Google, with all of their knowledge about me (and they have a TON of it!) would be able to target advertisements that I might like. The same truck commercial 100 times? Nope. Most of the things shoved into my face are something that I would NEVER purchase or recommend to others.
The problem is that I (almost) never get these ads. A valentines idea for my wife? Yes, please!

A new keyboard or update for my car? Yes, please.
However, there are some things that I want to be told about or update on. I use Ublock Origin (and others) everywhere I can and it's great. You know, I don't mind advertisements that are really targeted and would enrich my life in some way.
