Or watch a video. Or do some basic editing of some kind of medium that I will only do once and would make no sense to download a whole application for?

Why throw out the baby as well? Besides, ads can be part of text content as well.

I have zero faith in government’s ability to regulate these things correctly. Viz. cookie pop ups.
