Tax ads. Put the money into important stuff.
People shouldn't be faulted for taking a high paying job if that is where the opportunities are for them. But we do have a system which is generating outcomes most people aren't happy with. So the rules should change. Maybe just a little at a time.
Our choices aren't only "Ban ads" or "Keep doing advertising the way we are doing it now". This isn't an A/B test. A small tax on advertising would be a good place to start.
