I give zero fucks about "the way things are" or how they "have to work", that's propaganda to support inaction. I've lived my whole life blocking ads and giving the finger to advertisers, and telling me that ads make the world go round and that's just the way it is regardless of personal opinion on the matter doesn't jive well with me. Ads provide nothing useful to society, and fall in the same category as predatory CEOs and anticonsumer practices that generate a lot of revenue, but make the world over all a worse place to live. It's not something to tolerate and put up with as a "necessary evil", it's something to target and eliminate.
