Hyperbole much? That statement is just rubbish.
Personally I think it would be the most constructive thing to happen to the Internet. Hell, maybe even society in general. Advertisers are scum, they ruin everything they touch, and any 'content' producers whose businesses died if this was to occur would certainly not be missed by me.
- abritinthebay 9y agoNot hyperbole. Having the majority of content producers be unable to continue operation would be a blow the Internet has never seen. Massively destructive. Nothing would come close that’s happened before.
- satori99 9y agoIf no-one is willing to pay for their 'content', then it isn't worth anything anyway. The Internet did just fine without corporate advertisers running the show and tracking everybody for years.
- abritinthebay 9y agoYou mean in the early to late 90s? Because advertising has been running the show at many levels since the early 2000s. If you don't think regressing the internet back 20 years would be massively destructive... well, I can't help you.
