Bold stance! I think it goes too far - there is definitely value for society in people being able to make services and goods they offer publicly known. No doubt we're currently too far in the "ads everywhere" direction, but within limits I think ads can have net benefit.

If that's the only reason for accepting ads, then they could be consigned to particular websites and stop polluting the world for the rest of us. Then, if you need something, you can go watch all the stupid ads.
