I'm old enough to remember when network television didn't cut important scenes from shows in order to show me commercials.
If these businesses are getting so much efficiency from laying off their employees, why do they need increasingly more advertising?
I doubt there are enough of us who block (when it is even possible) to seriously affect revenue.
Also, if they can break their contract with me to pay for a service with no commercials and force me to watch them anyway, I have no compunctions with denying them the extra profit.
That's all entirely dependent on what business you're referring to.
