Your country might have a public internet but mine doesn't.
I would happily pay a government entity as opposed to my ISP if the service was just as good but until a public option becomes available I pay for my private internet with a monthly bill.

Your being needlessly pedantic. Your payment to your local ISP pays for their connection to the broader internet, but that pays NOTHING to any person hosting a website or operating a server on the other side. I assume you know that, but you’d rather justify not watching a 5 second video or clicking the ‘x’ on a pop up window.

If it was actually 5 secs I wouldn’t have an issue but they get greedy and lazy. The ads get longer and longer more often unskippable, more frequent, and they show the same damn ones a million times over. It’s their own damn fault I want to block them.

The difference between paying for a public internet and paying for a private company's content is not needlessly pedantic.
