Lol, there should be a law that if you pay for a service advertised as ad free, they have to refund you a month of service for each ad they show you.

With billionaires now openly buying politicians (instead of greasing their palms under the counter), I'd say the odds of such a law have become even worse.

Consumer protection laws probably do apply. Ask for a refund and cite whatever laws apply to 'product not as described'.

I live in the US, what are consumer protection laws?
