How are ads not part of the online experience? (At least for everyone not using Adblock). Of course they are. Hell, many click on them!

Actually I think it does - you think your average person on the street wants targeted ads?

It depends. If the alternative is paying or not having the content, absolutely. In my limited experience, people don't really care or mind being tracked unless they can see the drawbacks in their face.
