The problem of grass growing isn't one that we created, nor is the problem of trash being generated.† The problem of our TVs cramming ads into every conceivable space is. I don't want grandma to pay to solve this problem; I want this problem to fuck off.
† ok, technically incorrect; our putative granny could have a xeriscaped lawn. And our society could get better at packaging.

The people who created that problem don't care what you think. Now what do you do?

Or take control of your own life instead of depending on the powerful effect of your disapproval to wipe entire industries off the map?

Legislate then to stop. That’s a plan.
We the people hold a common understanding that our God given time upon this planet be for the benefit of the almighty, ourselves, family and neighbours, and that surveillance and advertising companies are predatory in nature, disagreeable in behaviour, and hereby forbidden on pain of all directors and shareholders thereof being put in stocks and having rotten fruit threw upon their faces and their abusively gained assets confiscated and distributed amongst the surveiled.
What I'm not suggesting is that we should pay a little boy to run around shitting on people's lawns and turning over trash cans. In fact, I'm going to be bold and suggest that we not do that.
edit: as far as I can interpret, your argument seems to be that every company using advertising to make money, and making their televisions smart in order to help them to sell more advertising, should just stop. That's not a plan.
