You can get ad-free content. Things like substack, YouTube premium, Netflix, some newspapers, lots of patreon clients, etc.

That ads still exist in other places where you've ostensibly paid for the content doesn't invalidate the op's preferences.

The ads still exist in the places you have paid for them, in litterally every example you gave. Netflix shows are giant ads. YouTube content has litteral ad reads in them. Newspapers - lol.

You can get ad packed content free, you can get ad-free content, you can get paid content that has ads, or paid content that is ad-free.

The "I paid for it" input has zero weight when it comes to determining if the content has ads is sponsored, infuenced or otherwise paid for.
