There is a middle ground that Google chooses not to take: reasonable amounts of ethical ads. I don't mind ads that inform people of products. I mind ones that actively seek to harm my life--whether it's by ripping me off or encouraging my use of drugs and alcohol--which is 90% of what I see. But if I (someone who has been alcohol free for over a decade) have to watch 30 seconds of people living a happy and prosperous life drinking whiskey, it's them trying to hurt me.
