That's just it, though - I feel I could make the same statement. I think I subconsciously make product decisions based on just living in an ad-saturated world, even if I'm not actively making that connection in the moment, which is part of why encroaching on the terminal sounds so odious to me. It's subtle, which makes it nefarious.
I agree. And I take active steps to block ads in my entertainment (including paying for no ads), web browsing, and app choices. They don't yet have spam-filtering sunglasses for physical ads, though.
Edit: But yeah it just seems wrong to have ads at the level of the terminal. I'm still aggravated with Microsoft for gathering telemetry at that level.
