I'm the opposite of that. I will go to pretty great lengths to avoid ads. They are incredibly annoying and often actively stupid. I am so much happier now that I almost never see a TV ad.

FWIW, mobile ads are worse. Avoiding them is easier, though. I almost always tell it when to show the ad and I can just look away with it muted for a while and do something else. I'm usually already watching TV while I play ad-based games anyhow. But if I had to actually watch the ads, I'd just stop playing those games.
