I can argue. The whole point of society is that we can choose to say "no, you can't have/do the thing YOU want because it has externalities that affect everyone else"
The advertising economy is corrosive and toxic to society
- bayindirh 3y agoI understand where you're coming from, but neither society nor the people in these societies are black and white. Personally, I know a couple of people who prefer to have ads in YouTube because they like targeted advertisements, and claim that they're informed by them. On the other hand, I'm against advertisement economy as much as you. Lastly, please tell me, how many times society collectively said no to some entities, and how did it went? Backlash is allowed to the point where the tension is relieved and the old thing continues as is, maybe with a different paint job, that's all. Users of an application protesting a company is not the same thing society protesting something against a sector or government. It's very hard to pull the latter one off.
