Yes, it's a big problem.
I have almost no ads in my life - they're not that hard to avoid. Most days I see/hear 0 of any kind. Getting rid of a TV years ago was one of the best things I ever did. Now I just watch the movies, series, documentaries I want to watch, ad-free.
> YouTube shows more and more ads as time goes by
I never see any, with uBlock Origin. I never see ads on Google, not sure why.
> Can't go in the street without being bombarded by ads wherever you look
You may need to move somewhere where this isn't true.
Billboards are fairly unavoidable in some city suburbs/city centres though, and I really hate super-obtrusive ones. Make take creative action yourself. I'm in Australia, where BUGA-UP famously used to creatively deface billboards, changing their message into something true/funny. I saw one defaced, well, improved, in their style just the other day, maybe they're still around. Very inspiring stuff. People have to say NO to billboards.
