There are these wonderful things now called search engines. And they existed before online advertising was tied to search, so before you say search engines would not exist without advertising attached to search queries, think again.

How do you know to search for something if you haven't heard about it before... via some kind of... promotion?
I get the point you're making, but I hope you realize you're just backpedaling from your original "no advertisements ever!" statement.
I believe in giving people better control over how they receive ads (I personally run an ad blocker in my browsers and a Pi Hole on my network), but you position that there should be no advertising at all, and that all ads are unethical is just silly, and you're proving that point yourself here..
Or do you have infinite time to go browse every single store in your city on the odd chance that you'll see something you want?
