They go on this platform to search for shoes, and at that point advertisement is allowed. On this platform you can get related ads, front page ads etc. The moment you step off that platform however no ads are allowed.
The platforms can be like digital malls. Maybe owned by the government, or possibly functioning like a decentralised platform.
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.
