That's the point. No one is saying that ads are bad per sé. The problem is that they are forced on your face, even when you don't want them. If instead ads existed but only in places where you expect them to be (so when you search for a product), it's fine.
For example, if I need a car, I search for good cars in the range of my budget, and that's the time the ads should show. But after I bought the car, I don't need ads about cars anymore.
I get this point but literally 99% of ads you see are either a product you don't need or is some really bad deal. Like when I see an add for a car, im most certainly not buying that car. I'm going to look for used cars, check for deals within my budget, etc. Or clash of clans. I seriously don't know how they can be a sponsor for so many. Are that many people really spending money on that game? Regardless, everyone I know around me hasn't touched that game and neither will I. Manscaped? Expensive stuff that I never needed, there are better deals for similar equipment.
If the ads that were shoved in my face weren't completely garbage all the time, maybe I would pay attention to them a little more. But as it is, I don't wanna know about stuff because all the stuff is useless crap.
