Ads will never go away, ever. They work too well and always will.


They go away eventually on open platforms, because blocking. That's why lots of firms push closed platforms. That's why humans should use open platforms.


Ad blocking doesn't eliminate ads, it just forces advertisers to astroturf rather than labelling their ads explicitly.


Advertisers not using ads to inform their target potential market, but instead choosing to use them to mislead and trick the consumer, are the reason for this.
