An unorthodox chain of thought:
1. In order to end the stronghold of advertising on the web, we need to first address advertising in the wider world
2. Advertising (amongst other things such as lobbying, flouting rules, pollution, anti-competitive practices) is driven by companies' almost desperate need for "growth"
3. Growth is driven by investor pressure
4. Investors are driven by need for ROI
5. The need for ROI is driven by inflation and its erosive effects on saved wealth
6. Inflation is driven by government spending via printing money
Therefore, we should reduce inflation?
