Things That Are Trying To Kill Display Ads

It's time for display (or, for that matter, all) ads to die. Web pages are unusable without adblockers, because otherwise ads will annoy you more and more to the point of throwing your machine out of the window...

It is the greed of a few in our industry that has made the lives of everyone else pretty miserable.

I've spent some time recently about what the world would look like without advertising at all (or very limited types). Is that a thing that has a name?

What I'd find acceptable forms of advertising are product placement/sponsoring in TV shows/movies as it's done today, and marked-as-such (!) "native advertisements". You want my time and money, so better deliver me a good, convincing story...

Pretty sure that word is "Utopia" but I may be wrong.
