Fair enough, though the suggestion that Google engineers take up farming was probably not very serious. However, the idea that we have a choice between no ads

Fair enough, though the suggestion that Google engineers take up farming was probably not very serious. However, the idea that we have a choice between no ads or the most pernicious ads imaginable is certainly a false one.

> the idea that we have a choice between no ads or the most pernicious ads imaginable is certainly a false one I agree with you. I spent a large part of 2018-2019 trying to make ads declarative, and am now working on (among other things) increasing the isolation of conventional ads [1] and implementing cross-site advertising without cross-site identity leakage [2]. But it sounds like you and my parent have very different views: there's a lot of space between "ads should be a lot better" and "ads should not exist".
