Well companies should aks themselves what they did to users in first place that everyone hates these ads so much now! How they pushed too far!

They have to look into the root cause of it.

But instead, most of them are making it even more annoying.

Nevertheless, the content quality is dropping as well. everyone is making unnecessary long content and a lot of click-baits.

What do you expect? It is called consequences and humans are really bad to understand it.
