While not all advertising is bad, most of it is. Like the ratio is more 95% bad - 5% good, not 50-50. I might be on board if this infrastructure was mostly use

While not all advertising is bad, most of it is. Like the ratio is more 95% bad - 5% good, not 50-50. I might be on board if this infrastructure was mostly used by local businesses. However that has not been my experience. Most advertisers are National brands and politicians. So we have this tool which could maybe used by local businesses but more often is used by National brands to push consumerism. I would also like to flip the perspective a bit. It’s more important to allow people to have a private and consensual relationship with the internet than it is for small businesses to advertise their services.
