I feel like Gen X/Boomers have a much higher ad tolerance than younger people though. Netflix streaming became popular when I was like 12-13, and I've had adblock in my browsers for longer than that, so I fucking hate ads when I see them. Meanwhile, older people I know will gladly subscribe to the ad versions of streaming sites and rawdog the internet even when they know ad blockers exist because they just don't care. They grew up seeing so many ads that it doesn't bother them as much.
