Feature, not a bug.
Big Advertising can be stopped simply by denying their existence in the first place. It's time to get advertisers out of our digital lives.
we do need to get advertisers out of our lives but we also need to not alienate the creators that make money from their art.
I'm not sure how booting corporations and their advertisements off of the platform will affect individual artists one way or another.
The kind of promotions that big businesses do is, well, incomparable to the kind of self-promotion that an artist does. It's a different beast entirely. At the end of the day, I'd be happy to see individual creators promoting their creativity!
