    They have physical books that supplement the printing costs with ads.

    Libraries still exist for now. Take advantage of them and maybe they won't all get shut down.

    Those aren't super intrusive. It's not a loud ad that has to load, yell at you and slows down getting to the content I question, and printed ads in books don't disrupt a music listening session by playing shitty ad music between songs as you're getting a specific mood on. Print ads don't bug me the way web and video ads do

    Many physical books have ads in the beginning and end. I would dare to say all. At the very least, a small "banner" ad for the publisher on one page.

    Do you have to watch it for 30 seconds before you're allowed to turn the page? Does it pop up every 5 pages and can't be skipped?

    Lol sorry, are advertisements that aren't intrusive not considered advertisements to you??? Maybe that mindset is why the internet is unusable without an ad blocker..
