“they put ads in the terminal” isn’t really accurate.
Their “ubuntu-advantage-tools” adds information to one of their other products to the output of apt. You can easily get rid of that by uninstalling/replacing “ubuntu-advantage-tools”. It’s definitely not like they are selling ad space in your terminal to third parties.
Ubuntu because they put ads in the terminal
They do? I’ve never seen any.

Just thinking about this pisses me off all over again.

You can’t easily uninstall the advantage tools package, they set Ubuntu-minimal meta package to depend on it
