> But also, I have absolutely zero right to really externalize that grievance.

I’m not so certain. It’s like if one bought a nice house in the country, and enjoyed listening to classical music and going to sleep early, and then someone a quarter mile down the road built a concert stadium, and hosted heavy metal concerts every single night.

The mere existence of a heavy metal concert a quarter mile down the road interferes with listening to classical music and turning in early. Likewise, the mere existence of the ad-laden, Javascript-laden, MegaCorp™ Internet goes a long way to preventing one from experiencing the joy of ordinary life in the late 80s or early 90s when the Net was a haven for academics, technologists and hobbyists.

If i listen to my favorite classical music radio channel, it doesn't matter what is on the other channels.

It does if the other channels transmit so strongly that they drown out yours.

And that never happens on the radio, and never happens with TCP/IP. It's your own choice what you listen to.
