For me it was TV. I stopped watching TV when I became aware of the amount of ads for cars. There's at least one ad for a car in every "commercial break". So I just stopped about 15 years ago.
I filled the entertainment gap with internet and lately I've been using YouTube a lot. However it's also becoming annoying with the sponsors inside the videos as well. I was not using SponsorBlock before but I installed it a few days ago.
If I'm ever forced to watch the awful ads on YouTube, I'll quit too. My life is just gonna be better for it.
