is switching channels or otherwise ignoring the TV while ads are on also stealing?
Not using a piece of a service (the ads) is not stealing, nor likely is it violating any service contact.
How do you react?
1. Tell me to go to hell.
2. Try to figure out a way to eat the cake without getting your thumb smashed.
3. Accept the offer.
1 & 2 are perfectly rational human reactions. 3 probably indicates some degree of mental illness on your part.
There's also probably a deep sickness in the society and culture that allowed me to make the offer in the first place.
