Ads pay for a service that allows you to video chat on a reliable and private connection with anyone in the world, for free. They also pay for google search, which has immense value to you.
They also connect consumers with products they might want. Most advertising is simply making sure people know about a product if/when they need it, no deception required.
The ads are still not beneficial to me.
I simply trade something bad for value.
It’s possible other people have a very different perception and experience than you do.
