you may not like it, but advertising is the most important thing in economy. without advertising, the internet would be a shell of itself with far less volume of content, and you might need to even pay a fee to access and post on web sites, which would only be valued at a fraction of the current value of the big advertising driven sites like facebook and google. and that would be horrible.

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
counterpoint: ads are a toxin that have been polluting our public and shared private spaces for too long. any monetary gains come at the direct expense of your mental well-being, and the end result is ultimately the perversion and enshitification of the platforms and content they are used to support

sure why not, we already dump surplus mustard gas and batteries and all kinds of other trash in there, so what's one more kind of garbage on top of everything else
