There’s certainly a not unreasonable argument that it is if you agreed to watch ads in exchange for getting something.
It is unfortunate for some that this does not apply to online content. Because though vendors of online content might like to pretend that such an agreement is in place, that agreement is at best implicit. No one asked me, and I agreed to no such thing, no matter the fantasies of of the ad suppliers.
So, no; the argument is entirely unreasonable, and falls down at its core premise.
