I use uBlock Origin and sometimes I have the opposite problem: I find out that a good movie came out months ago but I missed all the ads that flooded the internet because of my ad-blocker.

If that’s how you found out, you didn’t miss out on much, did you? You watch it, and that’s it.
If the only reccomendation that reaches me was paid for, it is definitionally not good enough to have garnered any personal reccomendation.
Right. Also, if there’s any social pressure to watch a new movie as it’s in theatres whatever, said pressure likely comes from people one knows, so still no need to expose yourself to ads to step in the loop.
