It's an impossibility given how our society is structured. A hundred years ago, if Tim's General Store did something shady, there was both social (hey Tim, wtf we're buddies this town only has 50 people) and economic (I'm never going back there and I'm 10% of Tim's regular customers). In this circumstance, our system works very well. But because of increased communication and transportation, pretty much everywhere you can consume from is a multi-national corporation. If Walmart overcharges you for a shovel, you can get your money back, but otherwise don't have any meaningful say about your experience, and probably don't have a meaningful alternative. Same with the internet, there are millions of people hitting up Google the same way you are, even if you blacklist "spamshitblog.net"; most people won't. People like RMS realized this a long time ago, but they basically got shouted down, and I definitely don't think we're gonna stop the train of unchecked free markets anytime soon. TLDR: The market always wins, just download an adblocker. |
