this basically summarizes the advertising industry + the internet

  There's something about Youtube ads that are particularly bad. Straight-up pyramid scams promising free money from Amazon or Elon Musk preying on the vulnerable, offensive videos, and so on. It's much worse than the ads I see in magazines, billboards, or on network television.

    That’s one of the things I never understood about proponents of the open internet. The most gullible decile of society has to spend their free time somewhere… and there will always be millions of scammers, scoundrels, lunatics, etc., looking for places to set up shop. So it seems inevitable that the open part of the internet will eventually consist mostly of the worst parts of human society preying on the bottom decile. And even the best parts of the open internet will get drowned out by 800 million voices…
