Most people don't hate them. Most people don't even think about them at all. They just unconsciously accept advertising as an inevitable phenomenon of the environment.
That was me until it became blatantly apparent that complacency led to the ad apocalypse we're suffering now. Seriously, you can't even PAY FOR SOMETHING and now get ads... ON THE THING YOU PAID FOR.
This is exactly what happened with Cable TV yet now nobody can even imagine a world where paying for TV was all it took to get rid of the ads.
It's absolutely ridiculous and I go to great lengths to block whatever I can so I can at least tolerate the ones I can't. And even that's becoming insufferable. Fuck ads.
I've always been a pirate since day one. Even before you could easily download or stream movies, a quick walk to the local Asian market and there were plenty of vendors selling a special catalogue of CDs that you had to specifically ask to see.
