Targeted promotions are very common these days (like the "personalized" deals my local grocery stores give that's based on your past purchases). From consumers' perspective, my take is it's "time v.s. money". Watching all those ads can be time consuming. Some people choose to spend time and save money, while some others would rather "skip a cup of coffee" and save time. Either way BFS could earn a small amount and so the game can live on.

And I do think BFS cares about players that don't spend real money as they can still generate income for BFS by watching ads. Otherwise they won't keep adjusting the ads' availabilities (or even provide them at all). And in DV I can choose to watch or not (without spending money to say "no ad please"), and if I spend the time I would "always" get something (a gem or some event currency) in return. That's better than most other games that "forces" us to watch ad at specific times with no benefit for us at all.
