Do you also think it's wrong to change the channel when an ad starts playing on TV, or to turn the volume down when an ad starts playing on the radio?



No. I also don't think it's wrong to navigate away from a website when it loads an ad I don't like.


But you eventually go back to the TV show, or turn the volume back up, having skipped the ads, no?


According to your logic you are obliged to watch the ads on TV. Because by watching a film you made an agreement that watching the film is only free because you watch the ads.
