We could push for a signing regime. Every page has a certificate applied for every individual developer who worked on the page, and for every publisher whose content is on the page. Then the browser provides a simple button that will blacklist the developers and publishers from ever getting content onto the user's screen again.
Users can opt in to a sharing service which consolidates the blocked certificates across multiple users. When a threshold is crossed for a particular certificate, that certificate can be propagated broadly to all the participants in the sharing service and said developers and publishers can lose the ability to put anything onto a user's across wide ranges of users.
I think when people start having things to lose, they might start acting more responsibly and respectfully.
