The goal is to eventually make ads completely unbearable for the handful of people that allow them, eventually destroying that whole toxic sector.

Imagine you're a mother, with a baby. Full of motherly love. High on bonding hormones and such.

Breastfeeding. So nice.

Now give that baby a chihuahua's head. Grotesque. And those teeth are sharp. But still, it's your baby. So you go with it.

Now give the baby spider claws. Then 20 eyeballs.

At what point do you reject your child?

I don’t understand the analogy really, are ads the baby? I don’t think ads are anybody’s baby, ads are the monetization strategy of last resort.

Hardly, if done correctly, you're probably improving the CTR by reducing the number of ad impressions that would never result in a click.
