Ads are not an important part of society. They're a crowbar cooked up by companies to barge into your daily life, as if they deserve to be seen and heard just because they want your money!

We need to cut middlemen out of the problem. 'creators' and 'influencers' and shit should find ways to make money from their fans directly.

Patreon, Flattr, gittip, etc are ways to achieve this.

Companies have no more right to communication than the rest of us, and they don't deserve any social or legal protection for the time and attention they waste in society daily from their incessant marketing.
