Media exists pretty much for the sole purpose of projecting commercial images against your retinas. If it was possible to sell you a movie/newspaper/channel that was nothing but advertisements, believe me, it would happen. The movie, the news story, the TV shows, none of those are the point. The point is the advertiser dollars that keep rolling in. Nobody cares about giving you something of worth or merit to watch, as long as it's good enough to keep you watching. All they want is the money they get for bringing you the ads.
To the point, it's only fair, I think, that you should be able to choose whether you are the recipient of advertising or not. But if my movie experience is being subsidised by advertising, I should see that reflected in my ticket price.
