The idea feels like sci-fi because you’re so used to it, imagining ads gone feels like asking to outlaw gravity. But humanity had been free of current forms of advertising for 99.9% of its existence. Word-of-mouth and community networks worked just fine. First-party websites and online communities would now improve on that.
The traditional argument pro-advertising—that it provides consumers with necessary information—hasn’t been valid for decades.
Nah this absolutely make no sense to anyone who’s been alive for more than a day. Prohibition doesn’t work without a path to reliable enforcement and its straigh up impossible to enforce whatever garbage this “proposal” is.
It’s completely uneforcable drivel to the point where any further discussion here is clearly not going anywhere so we can agree to disagree.
It makes sense to me. I have been alive in excess of 10k days.
Not true, I provided a mechanism for enforcement. We investigate perjury all the time, and the test for “unpaid” would be significantly similar.
