Yes, ads are annoying, a security risk, and obstruct content, but: they also are a deliberate attempt to subconsciously influence my decision making. Saying, "here is this product you may not have known about, here is what it does" is one thing. Showing me pictures of attractive people to trick me into associating <brand> with <good feels> is malicious.

Why would I agree to that?
