Ask HN: What will it take to destroy the ads market?
The more I live the more it seems like we're living in a soulless dystopia:
- My local state TV channels feature 20 minutes of commercials for about 5 minutes of actual content
- YouTube shows more and more ads as time goes by
- Can't go in the street without being bombarded by ads wherever you look
- Whenever you Google something, the top results are SEO spam websites with jumping ads and auto-playing videos that quite literally feel like some form of digital cancer
- Services are starting to display ads even if you're a paying costumer -- e.g Samsung TVs
At which point enough is enough? They've stripped humanity out of these daily tasks so much that I can't imagine this is sustainable. What will be the last straw in this market?
