Can you fast forward through commercials? All you can do is mute the TV and/or leave the room. Even in systems like TiVO where you can rewind and fast forward they still mostly block you from fast forwarding commercials... No different than circumventing adblocks, but nobody complains about that.

Hell even TV networks track you. They know how many viewers are on certain shows and that. That's how they're able to garner high prices too.

Advertising is just something we always had to deal with. You don't have to watch commercials. You do that by not going to channels that have commercials, or using different services that you pay to not see commercials.

My point is, you are entitled to not be tracked. You're entitled to not have to see ads. But you are _NOT_ entitled to the content without those if the website decides the trade-off of you getting that content for free is by enduring those ads.

Close your window. Go somewhere else for content if the site you're visiting displays ads.
