> 1. If I as a human request a website, then I should be shown the content. Everyone agrees.

I disagree. The website should have the right to say that the user can be shown the content under specific conditions (usage terms, presented how they designed, shown with ads, etc). If the software can't comply with those terms, then the human shouldn't be shown the content. Both parties did not agree in good faith.



You want the website to be able to force the user to see ads?


no, I think a fair + just world, both parties agree before they transact. There is no force in either direction (don't force creators to give their content on terms they don't want, don't force users to view ads they don't want). It's perfectly fine if people with strict preferences don't match. It's a big web, there are plenty of creators and consumers.

If the user doesn't want to view content with ads, that's okay and they can go elsewhere.
