Think about why those things exist, though.
Not that the way the internet operates has to continue -- in fact I'm pretty sure it can't -- but a lot of stuff exists only because someone figured out a way to pay for it to exist. If you imaging removing those ways then you're also imaging getting rid of a lot of that stuff unless some new ways to pay for it all are found. Hopefully less obnoxious ways, but they could easily be more obnoxious.
- pixl97 4y agoThere is a two part problem here. A lot of good stuff only exists because of ads. We want that to remain somehow. But the converse is a huge and ever-growing ocean of bullshit exists to siphon the ad dollars off while doing nothing to actually earn it. Something has to break, and I guess we'll see what really soon.
