No one is ever concerned with how much energy is used to feed ads to the entire population of earth 24/7.

Please propose a law or regulation structure for significantly reducing or eliminating advertisements. I'm serious. I fucking hate ads. I just don't have a reasonable or effective way to get rid of them.

Edit: Hey actually I just thought of one! If the consumer is paying for the product, it can't come with ads, including things like product placement or ad reads!

Serve ads inside the ads. It’s more power efficient—kill two birds with one stone?

That's called product placement in a Disney movie

Didn't go too well with The Marvels lmao

Actually I don't know if there was any product placement in The Marvels because like the rest of the world, I've not seen it either.
