It sounds like you're maybe alluding to a kind of advertising that's unavoidable by just existing in the world, like billboards or bus ads or something, but I don't think that's what we're talking about here.
Or I guess a product that you don't know is going to have an ad, you use it, then bam an ad. Sure, in some way that's kind of like taking money without your consent.
But once you know a product uses ads, you can just not use it because you don't like the way they charge you for it.
