I was going over my bills and started thinking. I have a data cap. If I go over my data cap I have to pay; But, I am not requesting advertisements, they are just being sent to me (and using the bandwith I am paying for.) If I go to YouTube and watch a video I have to watch an add and some times several throughout the video I requested. I would be fine to watch these adds if they were free but I am paying for the bandwith to watch these adds. Why am I not being compensated by these advertisers for the additional bandwith I am paying for, to view their adds I do not want?
You are being compensated, those ads are paying for the content you are consuming. Regardless of whether or not you want to see ads, you ARE requesting them by visiting an ad supported website.
