The deal is between the person paying for the ad and the person displaying the ad.
I wasn’t ever involved in the deal, I owe them nothing.
you are involved in the deal, because advertisers pay by how many times the ad is displayed (or clicked). just like how you are involved in the deal between the distributor and cinema, because the pay depends on how many tickets you buy.
If that’s the extent of my involvement, Following that thought, an ad blocker means I’m not involved in the deal anymore?
as much as sneaking into a seat in a cinema without paying means you’re no longer involved in the deal. so yeah, you might have a point that you’re no longer involved in any deal, but i’d still call that piracy.
