> I bet there's any number of things this person values that simply wouldn't exist without advertising.

Those are outweighed by the things that don't exist because due to advertising, resources are allocated to less valuable things instead.

> Anyone who hates advertising this much should show their commitment by working at an organization that does not advertise. Loathing advertising and at the same time depending on it for income is deeply hypocritical.

The classic non-argument of conservatives defending the status quo. People who don't depend on advertising for their income just get criticized for selfishly demanding the stop of a practice that doesn't benefit them instead.
