Speaking for myself I'd be so happy. It would be like that Simpsons depiction of a world without lawyers. When I was a child I watched as a commercial break would appear on TV during whatever show we were watching, with the volume significantly higher than the audio level of the show, my father would leap for the remote control in order to mute the ads throughout their break. He would then go on to vocalise his utter disdain for ads, which is something I took from him. It wouldnt' be so bad if they weren't a) so loud and a) so shit, so uninspired.

These days I live a relatively ad-free existence, I don't have a TV, I don't have ads in my youtube (thank you Brave on iOS and ublock origin on desktop), and I pay for Spotify premium which is the only other place they can really get me. I still hate ads though. And I still see them, though these days it is as news articles, from the Daily Telegraph right through to the Economist.

Anyway, this is a good opportunity to plug my favorite documentary of all time, 'The Century of Self' which is all about the birth of the advertising industry. Too much content to consume all at once, but fascinating stuff that is well worth the time to take in, and sadly still extremely relevant: hhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnPmg0R1M04
