Yes. There will always be a small group of people who work hard to eliminate or circumvent the advertising (I think it was a week or two ago that some company said it had figured out how to get rid of banner ads from a web site, kind of like how that company back in the 1980s invented a smart VCR that skipped over commercials while it recorded a TV show), but all media people are eventually smart enough to make sure their way is the path of least resistance, meaning most people will tolerate commercials, ad banners, and suggestive sells because they're not annoying enough for people to want to do anything about it.
