Good to know that your concept of acceptable human behavior encompasses everything that's not illegal.
If only there were a service that: - Doesn't show ads, or steal your personal information. - Has all the content from every major streaming service. - Is scalable and efficient without a centralized single point of failure. - Can be used with 100% free and open source software. - Lets you keep your favorite shows forever without being subject to the whims of corporate licensing.
I'm so exhausted from constant advertisements. I'm so tired of my information being sold off to third parties in order to deliver ads. I'm so tired of good, useful tools and services requiring a forfeit of my privacy in order to use them. Does anyone else wish that they could just exist without being told to buy something every 15 waking minutes?

You have to mentally be 6 if you’re enjoying the garbage they’re chucking onto Disney+.
I recently did a month of Disney+ when they sent me promo for first month for $2.99. During that month I watched the Pixar movies Soul, Luca, and Turning Red (and rewatched Onward). I also watched the Disney movies Raya and the Last Dragon and Encanto. And Wes Anderson's Isle of Dogs. Oh, and also the latest Dr. Strange and Thor Marvel movies, plus the Loki series. Are you seriously claiming that all that was garbage…
That's too bad, guess the high seas are calling.

No such luck. The Hulu no-ad tier still has ads for a select few shoes.
That's due to contract reasons. Hulu keeps a list of shows they are required to show ads on: https://help.hulu.com/s/article/no-ads-exceptions
They aren't being forced to show ads. They chose too.

What does "xi/xir" mean?
It is one of the gender-neutral terms.

True, but insufficient. You'd also have to avoid going outside in an urban environment, etc. The bombardment isn't only online.
You're right, but I think that takes the spirit of the issue a bit too far. In my experience, it's highly dependent on where you live. Where I live, which is somewhere between urban and suburban, there really aren't enough ads plastered everywhere such that it's at all interrupting. I don't think most people outright hate every single form of advertising – it's the frequent interruption, obnoxious music, unreasonable…
You know those ads in Minority Report that track people viewing them? They're here now. Maybe not out on the street, and maybe not via retinal scan per se, but there certainly are eye tracking and facial recognition technologies watching to see if you're looking in the direction of indoor digital ads.

But gender is a social construct? Why should such a meaningless data point have any impact on their bottom line?
Money is also a social construct, yet I suspect it has a decent impact on their bottom line.
