I'm really getting to the point that I think we need regulation that bans mandatory advertising features in any product which you outlay cash for directly, or at least requires a realistically priced non-advertising version to be made available (i.e. give some leeway to go "nah, it's not 10,000% more expensive to sell the version with ads...)

It seems like the inevitable destination of all products is to be chock full of tracking and ads, because if you have a large market share, why not also monetize it further by selling ads to your disposable-income identified customers?
