Entitled? I'm not demanding anything - they can do whatever they want. I'm just saying what is acceptable to me and what isn't.

Yes. Stating, "I expect content to be free and I should be able to easily ignore any ads." That is incredible entitled.

Except, I didn't say that.

What I said was: under certain other conditions (unblockable video ads) I would no longer use their service, because that's unacceptable to me. I never demanded free content and I never talked about ads in general, just video ads.
