If you don't "feel entitled to get paid," then what do you really have to complain about when someone wants it for free? And don't you think it's a little unfair that you'd attribute to others a "sense of entitlement" and to you a "virtue of good fortune" for participating in comparable behavior? I recommend you stop using the phrase "sense of entitlement" to describe how other people come to conclusions about what they would like the world to be. Because unless you are doing the exact same thing, you have no grounds to object. (I.e., it is your "sense of entitlement" that causes you to want things to work the way you want them to.) >It seems like preventing someone from accessing something that they have a right to is immoral. No, it doesn't "seem" like it. That's what it means to have a right. Everything else you're asking is a matter of social bargaining. You are entitled to payment for your work. Others are entitled to culture and attention management. You give some of yours, others give some of theirs. And everybody argues that they are giving more than the other, so as to get the best deal they can get for what they offer. At the end of the day, what is right is what benefits our collective ability to make decisions in the long run. And people are pretty fed up with ads that do nothing but offend their peace of mind. It doesn't benefit them, it only benefits those who sell the ads. Which means those who give their attention are not bargaining well enough to get what they want. Hence this whole discussion.
