    I had a fantasy about this earlier. That there was actual legislation that elucidated the right to decide what advertisements we saw in our lives, and that “none” had to be an option that was actually meant you never saw another fucking add.

      It’s a nice fantasy, but I’m sure some sites would actually collapse. I’d prefer it and I think it would be more realistic if there were legislation capping the amount and formats of advertising that could be displayed on a webpage or over a certain period of time to an IP address. No more double ads before every video and every ten minutes within - it’s currently getting to be as bad as cable TV used to be, and I don’t know what hosting user-created content costs these days but I’m sure it’s cheaper than what cable companies had to pay to buy content from studios for broadcast and then actually broadcast it.
