Maybe in some products but not a lot. We didnt have ads in Netflix, we didnt have ads in cars, we didnt have ads in tv software and so on. You probably know this.
I dont see the point of pretending its not getting worse. A lot worse.
Cable tv has literally had ads for decades. Magazines have had ads for as long as they existed.
What world have you been living in?
Sure those things had ads, but you are seemingly ignoring the new places that have ads now.
But I dont care really if you see it or not. :)
That’s a different story. You said that up until a year ago paid products didn’t have ads. That’s demonstrably false, we have decades of evidence to prove so.
