How does all of this work when I don't see advertisements?

Would be interesting to see what's the proportion of users using ad blockers. I'm guessing it's a small minority.

It seems to me that people are taking ads for granted on internet, just like they take them for granted on TV.

I agree. I'd further guess that there is a strong correlation between the likelihood of a person running an ad blocker and the likelihood of a person ignoring ads in a non-blocked environment.
