I have never seen an ad in the past 6 years. I use android phone, windows PC and Android TV. Keen to hear when was the last time you saw an AD ? (aussie.zone)

Honestly, that's a good question. I use a DNS level ad block and that takes care of the vast majority of them. I also use a lot of either open source software which does not contain ads or front ends to services that do contain ads that strip the ads out like newpipe.

I recently wanted to watch a TV show that I could only find on Discovery Plus.

Signed up, started playing and an advert starts playing!?!? When did it become normal to serve ads for a service you’re already paying for.

Anyway I cancelled and pirated the show

Since cable television? 🤔
