It is entirely up to the end user to allow or disallow any content,
and whether or not to tolerate the lack of functionality attached
to that content.
Websites can't "make" you do or accept anything.

What you say is absolutely true, but in this digital world unless you
want to isolate yourself completely, you're almost forced or at the
very least coerced into letting that content in.


Lots of absolutely idiotic things we put up with for convenience.

I mean, just imagine the idiot who will put up with paying a TV cable
company for a Prepackaged lineup of channels, so each channel can show
you 15 minutes of commercials every 30, while you are paying for the
privilege.

Go figure ...

About 6 months ago I bought an $11 antenna at Best Buy, clipped the
cable cord (and their phone cord), and my wife and I have been happier
ever since. I/We wish I would have done it sooner.

Kudos, but why the antenna? There's -nothing- TV worth watching.

I gave up TV 6 years ago last month, and I have never missed it.
I gave up broadcast radio about the same time. Now I hear no more
stupid, loud, and screaming advertisements unless I'm working in
someone else's home. Luckily, that's only 1% of my time.

I got a subscription to Netflix and have been happy with movies as my
sole video entertainment. The USPS is going to make that investment
FIFTY PERCENT WORTHLESS next month, when they cut out Saturday
deliveries, unless they deep to deliver movies that day, too.
I may just give up Netflix delivery, too, while retaining their
streaming option to watch on the computer. Maybe Redbox can take up
some of the slack.
