In this case, the suggestion of banning advertising is drawing downvotes from me because I see it as politically unrealistic.

At least in my state, there isn’t even a ban on advertising online gambling!! It is quite a stretch to think we could move from there to banning any kind of advertising.

It has nothing to do with the fact that a bunch of HN readers make money from ads. I don’t.

Somewhat meta question, do you believe that down voting opinions we don't like is a good way of engaging with one another on HN?

I wish we could discuss the issue here, and instead would have liked to hear from you why you think it is a pitically unrealistic proposal, and what your criteria is for seeming something politically unrealistic.
