Clever, but beside the point. "Content isn't free" is still not a reason to plead that others "consume the ads." Google doesn't offer Go on the _condition_ that you consume ads, nor does this podcast or interview offer itself to the Internet on the condition that you don't skip the first two minutes of it. If you're somebody who is opposed to the practice of advertising in general, by all means, skip it. Nobody should tell you not to.
