I’m so glad I’m not the only one. I don’t watch ads, as a rule. They might play, but I don’t watch or listen to them.
I do the same thing when I choose to “watch” ads in games for rewards (except I have to disable my pihole for that). Basically I’m trading losing my enjoyment for 30 seconds for whatever the reward, and they can have a tiny bit of my data (like wifi, not personal data), but I will not actually consume that bullshit.
I may not have a choice in how the model works, but I can choose not to participate.
Sucks to be them, too, because if they weren’t making me sit through ads I’d probably give them money directly, which would be worth a lot more… but I don’t support double dipping so.. 🤷🏻
This is precisely how I feel.
