Are you truly implying I have no right to control what my eyes and ears and brain experiences? That I have to be literally forced to view and remember every single piece of content --- ads or otherwise --- on a site that I visit, just because the "content author" wills it!?

It is very rare that I will use such strong language, but to anyone who truly believes such things: fuck you, and I very much hope you will be the one someday tied into a chair and unable to escape with your eyelids forced open to watch and listen to a barrage of unescapable ads and answer questions correctly about everything you were forced to consume before being allowed to consume the actual content itself in the same way. Because that's what you're implying the world should become --- literally a form of torture and mind-control.
