Here is the problem with the idea of "banning online advertising" - there is a large amount of people who spend a lot of time online. To the point that even small local businesses will buy advertisement space on social media. If such advertising is, it can be assumed social media overall will die, and we will regress back to a world where the previous media incumbents (network television) once again gain all the power.

Not a very wise solution in my opinion.
