I have no obligation to consume ads on any media, radio, TV, CD, DVD, internet. I have not contracted to view them. I have not agreed to view them. I can avoid viewing them in any way I want. I can turn my head, leave the room, or skip them, or flip channels, or not download them, or prevent them from playing or executing.

I have no moral or ethical obligation to the advertisers. They may exercise their right to free speech.

But, they do have a moral and ethical obligation to me to not interfere with my enjoyment of life, which includes not being bothered by ads, If they do interfere with my pursuit of happiness, by forcing me to watch ads or download them, I will take my business elsewhere.
