If in the future I am forced to view ads, I won't click on them and I won't buy any products advertised via forced ads.

  But the ad will leave residue on your brain. So you are still being advertised to.

    Well the point was that we should reward ads that aren't forced on us, or at least the ones that try to be as nice as possible. Intrusive advertising should not work...

    Then perhaps like me, that ad will mean he actively avoids that product and brand out of ad-fatigue and simple spite rather than the intended effect, which is to attract people to them.

  If I see an ad, I click it. In fact, I right-click it and click the button for my shitty addon "thousand-click". Then my raspberry pi loads that ad in a headless firefox and clicks it thousands of times. You won't believe how soon you stop getting ads, and instead just empty iframes, or warnings from Google that you're abusing their ads. Well, their problem. Luckily, there's now an addon that does this fully automatically: AdNauseam. Fully automated ad abuse, and ensures that if enough people use it, online advertising will die within of weeks.
