Magazine ads don't bother me, especially if they're on-topic (e.g. PC ads in a PC magazine.) I find ads in vintage PC magazines to be particularly interesting and fun.
But web ads are typically obnoxious, intrusive, and off-topic. Delivery formats such as pop-up windows and auto-playing video are so disruptive that there are browser settings to block them – settings which web advertisers work tirelessly to subvert. The commercial web has become unusable without ad blockers.
