I think the reason they don't offer options is because in their business model, there is only one option, the one that keeps you on the site longest and watching more ads. What you think you want and what actually keeps you there are probably not usually the same thing.

It's why government regulation is probably the only way to fix the issue, since you need companies to act in a way that's counter to their own interests (but would lead to a better experience for users.)
