AdSense or NonSense?

I have reached a stumbling block in Course 3, Lesson 8, that deals with AdSense.
Being green to all things having to do with this entire realm, I committed to myself from the beginning, to work through each step to the end and learn all that I could to make this process easier.
That was the case until I hit this AdSense wall! To be honest, the training around this topic was a bit unclear to me. So as I have before when I get stuck, I reached out to the community for answers, tips, suggestions. I found some answers that helped (maybe enough for me to figure it out) and others that reinforced my uncertainty.
Without enough clarity on exactly how to install AdSense into my posts, or the reason for doing it in the first place - I sat on this, slept on it, and have now made my decision.
Recall what Kyle (and others) told me/us early on - "complete each part of every lesson before moving on"? And another bit of advice of "think of your habits and experiences when being an online consumer".

I first considered the 2nd bit of advice and thought of how I feel when seeing web pages plastered with Adsense. I find it rather annoying.
That leads me to the "complete each part" bit. One of the tasks to be ticked off is to insert AdSense in 2 posts. Since I would rather not have AdSense be a part of my online presence, at this point, I will not be doing this step. But the moral dilemma is that I have to tick all the boxes as completed, in order to move on to the next lesson.
Being one not one to cheat, but I feel I need to make an exception here. If, in the future, I find it makes sense to Ad(d)Sense, I will come back to this segment of the training and by then, it will most likely make more sense at that time.
I've been given advice from more than one person here, that AdSense isn't worth the hassle. I know everyone has their own opinion and experience, and it's like asking for a review of a movie - some love it, some hate it, and others are left on the fence.
Being one staying away from AdSense right now.
What are your thoughts? Did you like this movie or not? lol
Moving right along........
