We could always use this same logic however, saying there are barriers to some business with some law. Turns out certain barriers are good. We decided if your business model relies on unpaid or child labor to be profitable, its no longer a good business model, and enforce that with legal barriers. Likewise here, we are starting to realize this slimy attention seeking advertising model is also not a sustainable business plan. If businesses fold as a result, so be it, what remains will be the stronger business plans that don’t need to resort to such low and morally dubious tactics to survive.

What remains will be cable TV bundles in the ashes of the internet.

Or the sort of websites I visit that don’t do banner ads or tracking. I would like to have that signal to noise ratio improved so this would be the best thing for the modern internet imo. Goodbye ai written recipe website. Hello crusty technical engineering blogs.
