I don’t see how paying for a service implies or justifies solicitation. Ads, especially online, persistently obstruct information and strive to be a general sensory nuisance. I don’t even watch cable TV because the ads have become so noisy, brainless, and aggressive (also since so much of the network content has as well).

I think they might mean that consuming ads is a form of payment?

They're not wrong but I still block them. One it has gotten out of hand ads are obnoxious and everywhere. Two they have infected people computers before so are not safe.
