How do you feel about just fast forwarding past the ads in your audio player? Is that unethical too?

How about answering the question? I don't see why not do that and instead reply to my comment.

The question at its core is a whataboutism and I don't have time for those. It doesn't change the core tenet of the point being made, which is that this prevents publishers from monetizing something they tend to charge money for.

And given that most publishers are small and just scraping by and this directly harms them, I think that sucks.

Stop free-riding on absolutely everyone like they're a Hollywood studio.
