Naturally, that’s true, but it wouldn’t affect my decision. If I could unilaterally ban billboard ads, I would; but the fact that certain kinds of ads are not block-able does not affect my decision to keep blocking other kinds of ads, and limiting the effectiveness of ads I can’t block.
No entity has the innate right to psychologically manipulate me into contributing to its bottom line.

My point is that you are going to be manipulated whether you like it or not. That cute Bernie Sanders slogan, that "Eat the rich" slogan, all the beautiful art produced by your favorite political cause, it's all psychological manipulation by your definition (and it is). And by that point, all human interaction is manipulation.
