I am beginning to believe that advertising (at all, on any medium) is an evil we need to do without.

The "free stuff" that we get in return is never without consequences, as we're finding out.

The "hey we built a thing you might want to buy" function can be done in different forms, better, I think. Probably by newspapers.

I think we could start by taxing all advertising revenue by, say, 50%.
