Blaming advertising for the reason the Internet is like it is, is one possibility. But what if advertising is actually the least bad face of governmental control? This is to argue that the poor model is by design, as it allows for control and data gathering, that is actually as useful to the governance structure as it is to advertisers. If you think that we already live in a fascist governance system (where fascism is government and corporations working together) why not choose the more covert path to gather the essential information that the control structure requires for technocracy? Ie why not use corporations to collect the data (as they are perceived to be competitive), rather than the government (which would be accused of being 'Big Brother')? Similar to how verified twitter accounts = government passports.
