Terrible argument. You can’t ignore scale. Algorithmic timelines increase efficacy and precision of ads tremendously. These platforms know exactly who to target with what ad, at what time, with what frequency to get the desired result. It’s like comparing a horse and buggy to a sports car.
Generative ads will be even worse because they can be made specifically to each individual.
Oh im not defending it. Just saying we’ve been well-fed geese for a very long time now. It has just changed from cramming us full of the Tootsie Pop Owl and the Doublemint Twins with a chaser of Sears Christmas Catalog to a succotash of targeted ads.
No different than the decades of ad supported broadcast television.

Yes, that bit is terrifying
Except I didn’t pay a monthly fee for over the air TV. The Jeffersons didn’t cost 4.99 a month
Yeah this part is truly infuriating
