It's a lot more than that. The U.S. online ad market is something like $400-500 billion, so that's about $100/mo per person. The problem is that some people are worth a lot more to advertise to than others. Someone who uses the internet a lot and has a lot of disposable income might be more like $500+ a month.

There is no way that spending $100 per month on advertising to me is good value.

The more visible and annoying ads are, the more effort (and money) I will spend buying from competitors and actively dissuading other people from buying the product.

Presumably most people aren't like you though or companies wouldn't spend $500 billion on it.
