I guess I mean that I can learn about something from sources other than ads. How do Ads compare to, say, reading something on Reddit? Or do social media posts also count as ads to some degree?
The things you've mentioned can be done by ads, but to me, it seems you can learn about them in other ways that aren't directly considered ads (though they might be indirectly considered ads).
I prefer to have things presented to me passively (there's a Wheel of Time recap for ep 8 in my YouTube feed) vs directly (TV ads). I grew up changing the channel or turning the volume down for that shit cause they were often low quality garbage that got in the way of my tv shows and now I don't like them.
