A perfectly understandable reaction, but the company will be happy about that. If you willfully destroy a product you bought, they already have your money, and now you need to buy another one.
Unfortunately in this situation, where the ad requires active user engagement to resolve, a streaming service would have the ability to gate further access to content behind an authorization token they receive from the advertiser after the ad “clears”, like some dystopian Captcha prompt.
Solutions could be to find some way to trick the ad into thinking it had been engaged with to receive the token, or to find some way to crack the algorithm and and generate tokens as if the ad was engaged with…or just skip the bullshit and pirate the content.
If I ever have to see this, I’m gonna end that commercial permanently with a fist through the screen.

I can’t say I blame you, but I’d just set up a pihole.

Why wait?
Oh, I already do :)
And I don’t let my TV connect to the Internet, and instead do everything through a separate device which I have full control of.
I’m pretty committed to never having to see this.
