          I don’t consent to watching the same ads over and over. I don’t consent to them being downloaded onto my computer against my will. You consent, that’s fine. You enemies consent to sending the richest corporations on the globe your hard earned cash so you can avoid the same ads I don’t want, and they still send you ads. I don’t know why you like that stuff, but I don’t. I’m in charge of what I do and don’t download onto my computer.

              Oh, I consent to the content. Just not to the ads, so I stream the content and my software skips the ads for me automatically. Couldn’t be simpler. Puts me in control over what I do and don’t download onto my computer. I’m not buying anything.

                The author doesn’t consent to you blocking ads, simple as that. Might consent to skipping. Some. In certain situations.

                A shop giving you a free sample of cheese doesn’t mean you can fill your pockets with the contents of the cash register.

                  It’s my computer, not theirs. Watching a video isn’t the same as taking money, you seem to have a lot of confusion on this point.
