Google freely sends a bunch of video content to my computer. Why don’t I have the right to decide which parts of that content I want to watch? Which parts are permitted to execute on my computer?
My computer, my home, my rules. Google has their policies, I have mine. It’s none of Google’s business whether I watched the ads or not.

I just don’t get it. The casual “theft” here that’s socially tolerated (like say the theft of product from retail stores that’s so common now) just seems wild to me. Why shouldn’t creators be compensated for their work?
