This reads to me as: "I couldn't make money from my business without ads, so now I think ads are okay." I've been living advertisement-free since 2010. My mother thinks she's immune to advertisments. Her reasoning is that ads are so annoying, they'll have the opposite effect on her. I respect her line of thinking, but a while back when we discussed ads, I asked her the following question: "How often do you think about buying something?" She thought about multiple times per week, probably even multiple times per day. She asked me the same question, and I had to dig really deep to finally answer: "I haven't thought about buying something other than groceries for months."
