TopicI don't think advertisements before videos should count toward data usage.

Man all you needed to do was insert a mic drop and you're golden


Bearing in mind that PO's comments had to do with my advice itself, but rather industries as a whole (and, broadly speaking, affirms my original argument since he talks about the cost going to the consumer). The fact remains is that your bandwidth is affected by your choice to consume content with advertisements. Why should another party eat that cost?

You're choosing to watch the commercials in two ways:
1) By choosing to watch the videos on sites hosting the commercials.
2) By then not using an adblocker.

While you could argue that advertisers should compensate your provider, there's no basis for the argument that the provider itself should eat the cost on things it didn't ask for either and doesn't benefit from.
