To add another example,

I arrive late to the movie theater, I'll arrive anywhere from 15-30 minutes late.

why?

Because I paid to watch a movie, I did not pay to watch advertisements of movies. There's typically 15-30 minutes of ads in front of movies nowadays.

When I was younger I didn't have this policy because there were far fewer ads, but they keep cramming more and more.

YouTube use to have a single pre roll of just a handful of seconds. Now there are multiple which take 10 seconds each, unskippable and also ads on top of the video an in between segments. They have just become to greedy, like a Pythagorean cup, take too much and you will end up having nothing.

Thanks for Pythagorean cup analogy, interesting read. I didn't know such thing exists.
