No; but only the strongly-feeling are compelled to speak up. :)
That advertising is without merit and should be
avoided like the

If you actually depend on the income from advertizers, _they_ are your
customers.
Personally, I don't care much; nobody _forces_ me to pay for ads, or
to watch them. I go to a web page to find useful information; ads
influence this only if they distract or event prevent me from that.
