I agree.

I personaly turn the tv
and radio down when ads come on and use ad blockers on the
internet......I
used to wonder why if I searched for a type of car on the internet
adverts
on youtube etc were targeted to me....sick of it all thank god for the
BBC.

I pretty much record anything I want to watch, then I can zap through
the adverts.

I spend an hour a week stripping adverts from recorded material before
putting it on the house video server.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
