I don't mind previews in general, I think it's a good way to get settled in before the picture. I often see something that I would unlikely run across normally, and while I might not even ever watch it, I like being exposed to what's out there. Now, can previews be better, as in presenting the movie while not dragging on or revealing too much...absolutely. I'd love to have shorter, less spoiling advertisements, and more of them to get a feel of what's been made.
Now, ads in general, I'm not a fan of. That's probably because I'm not used to them since I don't watch general TV (which, I have no idea how people watch and don't go insane).
I don't watch network TV either, but if I had to put up with ads at all, it would be on the device that I watch and not vice versa.
