I really hate pervasive ads but I'm so sick of these sorts of these mind bogglingly naive "well obviously the solution is to tax X and ban Y" takes. Law is roughly speaking an expression of societies norms and morals and needs to be popular to stick around. If you don't want ads you need to get other people to not want ads, ironically I'm not sure how you do that without ads.
