Contrary to my distaste for them, but I wouldn’t mind advertisements now and then. By now and then, I mean, like once every other hour or if they’re displayed in a way that isn’t obstructing. Obviously that is not how they are these days.
I know companies need to still get out there and be known but I do not need to know that much and I don’t really care of your business if I have to hear, see and have spoken to me of it at every single turn. I would especially love it, if everything wasn’t a paywall to not see any.
Advertisements are just simply a disease.
A little bit of “I did something creative and profited” would probably be fine. The real life implementation as “I’m going to pay children pennies to sell adulterated bread for dollars” is really bad.
Even less hyperbolic versions tend to quickly become bad. CEOs and such that keep most of the value created by labor. Externalized costs suffered mostly by the poor and vulnerable. People being told to work or die. It’s not a good system to live in.
