I'm a Deep-Ecologist who is concerned about the large human population of consumers impacting global biodiversity so I see "things like hunger, disease and war" as natures way of keeping a species at bay. Although we seem to have outsmarted the laws of nature in the last 500 years.

No i don't think killing people is the best option. I obviously would rather reduce human consumption through other means.

> I am glad that ads ... provide them cheaper goods

There's always a cost to indulgence or easy living. Our children will pay it if we don't.

(I know my comment is dark but the parent comment mentioned "disgust towards the world we live in" so its relevant.)

I completely agree.

The thing that bothers me isn't so much ads themselves, but the implicit meaning behind them: consumption. It's simply not a sustainable business or ecological model.
