If it is cancer, it's very lucrative cancer. But actually it's not cancer, because it powers a lot of things. 99% of all interactions that people have on the internet today is due to advertising. Email, chat, videos, search, games, apps, news... all created, popularized, and funded by ads. I would prefer it if we weren't a consumer society, if our entire way of life wasn't powered by selling things, with advertising being the biggest underlying aspect. If Apple is smart they will retain their brand image of quality and elite lifestyle, because that's how they advertise their products. But they certainly aren't going to abandon ads.
