Have you noticed when you go to the cinema how many people turn up late to avoid the commercials?

You’re, perhaps mistakenly. assuming that the content providers will give people a choice in the matter. There’s also a huge gap between a half hour of ads (another straw man) and trailers prior to a movie and thirty or sixty seconds of ads before a television programme.
One or two extremely tailored adverts.
I think people would prefer no adverts, of course, but despite this ads remain prevalent - even on subscription television as a while. Whether it’d force people to change provider or not is another matter - especially if said provider had the most popular content.
