You don’t.

You’ll take whatever cock daddy capitalism shoves down your throat and you’ll damn well like it.

Or use an adblocker.

You have a choice. Use their service with the shitty ads or find something else to do.

It sucks, but that’s what you’ve got.

Third option is to use the service without ads by either subscribing or using an adblocker.

Capitalism is supposed to give consumers choice.

Nah that’s just propaganda, capitalism is supposed to be efficient and make profits, but tends towards monopolies over time.
User choice comes ONLY from regulation preventing monopolies and dishonest practices.
