The leading self-driving vehicle company was bankrolled by ad money, so I think your cynicism is misplaced. Also, in terms of bettering our lives... I'd bet advertising beats the ISS. What has the ISS given us? I know hundreds of small businesspeople that would never have gotten off the ground without modern advertising. There are people out there that click on ads and buy things, and that makes them happy. |

It certainly is way overpriced in my opinion, but for me, it has served as a reason to wake up excited on many of my days off.
That being said, ads are a great way to bootstrap so many awesome things. I think the cynicism comes from the feeling of privacy invasion.
