Archivist David Rosenthal asks on his blog, Has Web Advertising Jumped The Shark?.

He points out that there are four big problems with Web advertising as it currently exists: The bad guys love it, the readers hate it, the webmasters hate it too, and the advertisers find that it wastes money. He then goes into detail on each point and concludes that not only does everyone involved hate the system, but that it is causing actual harm to society.

    ... because all that matters is what the market will bear; all that matters is what the Universe will compute.

    Socialists will always have breadlines, because ultimately they don't respect the Laws of Physics; that's how dumb they are.

    Why do you think Winston of 1984 was tortured until he professed that "2+2=5" or that his abuser floated in the air? It's because Orwell was saying that you folks try to construct society atop a foundation of abject fantasy.

    "all that matters is what the market will bear"

    So, you're a parasite, feeding off the oblivious herd. Got it. As long as the herd doesn't all fall over dead, you're happy - your next meal is readily available.

      Rather, socialists use the ancient, simplistically dumb ideas of authoritarianism to grow insidious parasitical structures around the productive capitalists; being people who don't respect the principles of capitalism, these socialists construct terribly inefficient "welfare" programs.
