New York Times phasing out all 3rd-party advertising data

Now they've taken to pitching me pretty extreme propaganda from the likes of The Epoch Times.

Seriously, why can't we say No Thanks to a company's ads and let them stop wasting our time and their money?

It's in Google's best interest to let the company pay them for showing you irrelevant ads.

If all players would act rationlly then Google would have no incentive either way. If Google would show more (irrelevant) ads then the cost per click would be reduced and Google would get the same payout. But most advertisers are still people and because of this Google still has an incentive to show more ads.

They actually do that. It's not difficult at all to get banned from Tier 1 online ad networks.
