I got fed up with ads back in the early 90s and it fitted with we got a VCR so we could skip the several minute long ad segments.
Same with ads on websites, started using ad blockers in the 2000s when sites became unusable because of ads.
A few years ago YouTube went from occasionally showing one 5 second ad, and all ads longer than 5 seconds could be skipped. To multiple five second ads I got enough, and now it's getting as bad as flow TV.
