It’s a nice dream, but enough people have to be willing to pay for things in preference to tolerating ads to not pay. Streaming services and some online news services provide this option, so it’s available. But asking for everything to be free and ad free is wishful thinking, at least outside government funded media (which is still paid by taxes)

Temporarily, before they inevitably add the ads back in even for paying users.
