For me it's the pointlessness of it all, and the fact that advertisements even when "targeted" are just sprayed out of a firehose at me.

So many apps I use are supported by 30-60s ads for some stupid fucking mobile game that I immediately know I don't want to install, I have no intention to interact with the ad and yet I'm forced to sit through it for 30s, only to hit the X on it and have it open the Play Store anyway?!?!

And video ads in general, if I know that I'm not interested right away, why am I forced to sit through 30-60s of it?

I mean I can look away from a fucking billboard...but this stuff. A great first step would be to make ads that forcibly hold attention like that illegal.
