we should create an Internet whereby ads don’t exist

I think the main issue with that approach is that it is not commercially sustainable without an alternative source of revenue... and I really don't think people are going to pay money to every website they visit.

Or maybe you are one of the people who consider a capitalist society fundamentally broken and that there is no solution to make that method work long-term. Not saying anyone is right or wrong, and I don't presume to have any answers there either.

We're in agreement BTW. But either way, just for the record, I do consider capitalist society broken and want to replace it. But I understand its not going to happen over night and the transition will be less than perfect.
