Why do businesses think it is profitable to waste your time?

I saw an add for a product I wanted to buy but they wanted to force you to watch a video before they tell you what nutrition products they have for sale so I decided to get revenge and I ghosted the business. When I am busy I will watch quick shorts of instructional videos rather than sticking around for the entire video playback. I will also ghost friends who do not mean what they say, because if they say something and do not mean it, they are wasting your energy and time.
