At least some people used NetZero not because they were willing to tolerate ads, but because it was some way, any way, of getting a net connection. Hell, I tried find way to keep that annoying ad setup from even loading. I thought I was very clever that summer I used an independent PPP program under Linux to get the net connection, but no ads. Of course, that was detected and blocked after a while.
