Their understanding is entirely in their own mind. I, and a very large percentage of internet users, reject it. Content publishers might want this social contract to exist, but it does not.

I personally don't find ad-supported content objectionable. But it's still my browser running on my computer and I'll do what I like with it.

Unless you want written code for all social interactions? Most don't.
