In all of those cases you're paying elsewhere for the service.

In the case of web ads, you're not usually paying for the content, and so they're expecting you to see the ads.

I don't know why people go to websites to read their content for free while block their ads. To me that just says "I am consuming too much shit."

You don't HAVE to go to these websites and consume everything in the world, you know? Life will go on without these sites.

Really, we need to get people to not consume so fucking much.

Just like TV, where the best thing is to not watch so much commercial TV.

If ads bother you, you're already doing way too much internet. And if you're going out-of-your way to block ads by setting up a network device, you're REALLY consuming too much internet.

Recorded and enforced by a contract.

It doesn't matter what they expect. I'm not obliged to view their ads.
