A future web with unavoidable, ubiquitous advertising is a grotesque thing that I want no part of. Advertising and marketing represents the worst of what capitalism has to offer.

The point is that we must stop the momentum associated with the advertising-fueled web now, because it's too late.

We -- the technologists behind it -- need to stop taking it for granted what the future of the web is going to look like, and to think of other ways to obtain that revenue.

I do and will forever use adblockers (until they are circumvented) for these reasons.
