Perhaps not a popular approach, but I will simply watch less or not at all (mainly due to ads). There are other ways to entertain yourself. Throw away your TV!

Torrents have no ads. And better quality. And are easier to find, watch, download, and archive. Much more convenient in every way.

Haven't watched TV in over a decade either. Or seen an ad. Still watch any show or movie I want to.

As Gabe Newell put it (and demonstrated with Steam), piracy is a service problem.
