If you don't mind them knowing but resent the ads, you can just block the ads. You can do dns ad blocking[1], in-browser plugins/extensions[2], finally, patch the apps[3]. Or deploy all of them.

Perhaps you missed that I am willing to deal with ads in general? I am perfectly willing to put up with the annoyance, and like knowing that I am bringing money to the channel that I'm watching. I only want specific advertisers turned off.

A general "show me no ads" solution is not my preference.
