So the problem is not just black and white - consume ads or dont. It is when my data is being sold without my consent or visibility, when an accidental visiting a page installs tracking cookies and shows annoying opt-out screens, when ad/malware gets installed in every piece of hardware I own (eg "Smart TVs") that is the problem. No business "needs" to exist - that too vampirically. Incentivize the customer to opt-in with full visibility and let them pick. Dollar costs are visible - why are ads sneakier?
