Had a thought recently that there’s a certain causal link between advertising and loneliness. An advert works best if it comes from a trusted source. And since inevitably it’s mostly crappy stuff which needs promotion, this erodes trust, limiting the comfortable social circle.
- alphabetting 4y agoI don't really care if advertising is relevant to me. I just ignore it. I do care if services like search, YouTube and news websites stay free and don't go behind hard paywalls.

On the other hand, I don't care at all whether YouTube and news sites remain "free". But of course they must do so, as they would not be viable businesses in a paid model (YouTube, and almost all news sites).
