Ads, ads, ads, it's everywhere an ad. Except on Steemit. No ads here. But even that may change soon. As Steemit Inc. is collapsing under the weight of the collapsing crypto prices people are begging for the addition of ads to save our dear platform.
I have mixed feeling about ads. As a free market economist I am okay with ads. I'm okay with businesses doing what works for them, as long as it isn't abusing or oppressing others. I do take issue with firms like Fakebook and Giggle for using our information in ways we would not approve(though, we do approve. By clicking "I Agree").
And roadway ads have certainly abused the natural landscape. Some of us that take and share landscape photos have noticed this. Seeing an interesting or lovely view, only to delete the image later because of the corner of a billboard or the web of an electrical line obstructing nature.
I guess, in a world where people are sorely disconnected, ads are necessary. Word of mouth doesn't work if people don't talk to each other. Then we are left with our friend, The Screen, to share useful tips and suggestions with us. Tip: to win the contest you will need to add "Click...I Agree", "It's the Illuminati" or "Ads ruined my marriage" to your entry. 😜
