There is potentially a world in which you want to see ads because ads themselves do technically provide a service. You do want to know about things you care about and would want to buy… you just don’t want it obnoxiously shoved into your face all of the time in psychologically manipulative ways.
It would also help if I were served ads that even attempt to approach the vicinity of my own interests. That is vanishingly rare.
