Paying for a service, yet still being subjected to ads is the rule...anything else is the exception, and as stupid as that may seem, your just gonna have to live with it cause thats just the way it is.

Bottom line: Virtually every service you pay for still has ads.  Should they have ads even though your paying for their service,? no.  But is it a big deal? Not in the least.

And as for your bolded.  You still can't use one without the other.  And no more cherry-picking. you got that? 

No its not the way it is. There werent ads last year, there are now. Its not matter of science, its not like these things exist in this world and we should accept them as such. These are appearing because of business suits exchanging money, to dumb it down and saying "thats the way it is accept it" is what allows this to potentially turn into what the previous user said about ads on our windows desktop or ad bots in MMO's or gratuitous in game/in movie/in tv show ads or billboards popping up next to parks ruining the atmosphere and other things that detract from the experience and or immersion of the mediums we use.

Im not cherry picking anything but i guess we just disagree on how much we want our experiences altered and diminished and how you prefer to accept it and i, on the other hand, get worried at the precedent certain things set.Just different opinions on consumerism and the topic at hand which extends far beyond the in dashboard ads as a whole.
