I find myself strongly dissenting with the article and the opinions of most here. As vonklaus states, ads subsidize many services that I use and value but am unwilling or unable to pay for myself. Advertising is a fair market exchange. Businesses are funding my access to information and services in return for the right to present to me. We have quite a bit of control over which contracts we enter into, everything from changing the channel during a commercial to only consuming commercial free content. As such a market, as ads become more and more invasive and obnoxious then they become less valuable in that they drive users away and hurt the content providers who are funded by ads. So there is incentive to provide ads to consumers in a way that can be consumed if desired. Of course in some cases like advertising minors, I do think that limits are apropos as they do not have the experience to understand what they are entering into.
