Well, ads currently are used to monetize part of your attention to pay for providing the service you're trying to use. If the ads all went away, so too might the service. So there is a debate if there's another viable economy (or even a better economy) than the ad-attention one. I personally am against ads because the way they operate now fundamentally damages the workings of capitalism as a resource allocation tool. There's a debate about the economics of ads, which sometimes takes on ethical dimensions.
