What about fair advertising? The main problem here nobody dares to talk about because dealing with it would undermine the very essence of capitalism: unlimited growth, is that there is no way to have fair advertising exactly as there's no way to have a fair use of any resources. Once you allow anything to be used for profit, it will be abused from the strongest players at the expense of the others until the last drop. It would be extremely easy to put well defined limits on how much advertising can be shown, and make the Internet a better place, but no way, it's anti capitalistic and therefore a no-no. Ad blockers weren't born the same day advertising came to the Internet, and many years passed until someone realized we needed them; that was the day surfing became such a horrid experience thanks to unlimited, pervasive and ever growing advertising.
edit: and, by the way, I still have to see some company going bankrupt because of ad blockers.
