ban all advertising of:
-stuff for children
-pharmaceuticals
-alcohol and tobacco
-payday loans and other stuff for financially distressed people

these categories of people are pandered to specifically since their decision-making faculties are impacted. stuff used to be much more restricted, and for good reasons. "we had to do this, to keep the entertainment industry afloat" is an unacceptable reason for pushing to lift those restrictions.

most normals go "hmm i could go to a shady site, and pick up a virus trying to find the right download button and wait for the whole video to stream and hopefully i understand codecs enough to watch"

or

"go to cbs.com"

id completely go to a legit streaming site for serial content i enjoy, rather than pirating it. its just... the ads, man. i cant take them.
