If you care enough to describe advertising as “mind rape,” why use the service at all?

Why should you be allowed to take a thing from them without paying for it in some way? Just because you are technically able?

Because I'm not "taking" anything. They're the ones who send people stuff for free. They're more than capable of returning HTTP 402 Payment Required instead of a video stream. If they send me ads instead I'll delete them.
