There's nothing wrong with wanting advertising to survive. It's a creative powerhouse and a huge cultural influence.

But what most people really mean when they say that is: I want to preserve ways of coercing or tricking people into consuming content that they do not actually want to consume at the time of consumption.

And I think that is a very bad idea, regardless of the expectations people put into that ability.

No one should be force-fed advertising.
