It existed just fine in the 90s without nearly as much advertising. And honestly people need to get used to paying for services, instead of being the product.

Why? I see no reason for that, it would just lock out most people in the world from these products.

It existed in the 90s but many of the resources we enjoy today didn't and couldn't exist then.

As much as i hate ad business, you've got to admit the 90s internet barely has anything to do with today's. It was fun and wild, but very amateurish. You can't sustain the scale of investments made on today's internet without a robust income stream.
