Be careful what you wish for. I hate the current data collection paradigm but advertising allows media to pay their own way and remain independent.

I guess one other model that seems to beat out advertising is billionaire ownership for influence peddling. Still remains to be seen if this model will remain successful in the long term. We should probably eliminate billionaires though just to be safe.
