ITT: People upset that free things don't last forever.
Imagine if a (physical paper) newspaper could block you from reading an article because you didn't spend enough time looking at the ads.
After the content gets delivered to my browser, it's up to me how I want to consume that content. Anything that happens beyond that point is client-side. If I choose to pay attention to ads on purpose, that's my choice. If I accept the webserver's response and choose to view only parts of what I got, then that's my choice, too.
You pay for newspapers, though.
