I'm opposed to all advertising and marketing on ethical grounds. In my book human attention isn't for sale, and all attempts to sell my attention will be dealt with by technical means with extreme prejudice. It's true that content producers need to get paid; it's not true that human attention is an acceptable currency for which this payment must be exchanged.
Find some other way. Show some fucking adaptability.
The current concept of advertising has been around for more than 200 years now... I think the "all ads have to go away forever" approach is doomed to fail.
You have a point. To be fair, I don't really care what happens to advertising at large as long as advertising is kept as far away as possible from me and mine.

Why? How about people decide what they feel is acceptable for themselves. The answer is choice between advertising and payment, ideally a slider to dial your preferred setting.
