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.
Amazon is a bad example, as it’s a company with financial incentive. Hence my idea to either have it hosted by a government or a decentralized platform.
If a company owned it without good external overview then I agree we get what amazon is today.
Just nationalize amazon haha
