We need to differentiate a little more here. Instead of me having to watch another f*ing viagra ad, since I'm male and above 40, we should instead talk about substituting ads with getting actual fecal matter thrown at us. Your argument still applies. I should accept this because it is in my interest to support advertisers, since, really, I work for one. (In that I work for a private company that also pays for ads.)

Now before you dismiss this as childish and/ or obnoxious: please consider the point. We cannot gloss over _what_ we "have" to watch and not just that it's an ad.

It is true that things have to be paid for and I am 100% for this. But if you want me to basically degrade myself in order for me to get to watch your content, then wtf?
