> But what's the alternative ?

Since ads are a red queen's race, wasting people's attention and assuming we don't want to outright ban them then the next best alternative is to tax them heavily. How about 0.00001 cent per pixel-second-view?

Then people will only put up ads when there's some real value in it, not just to keep up with the competition.

That's a really good idea. We need regulation to prevent prisoners dilemma situations to the detriment of all.
