Thanks for your extremely thorough and articulate explanation, @darobin ! I've been following along with this discussion and generally haven't felt like the average web user is represented by many of the participants here. It seems to me that many here take it as an accepted first principle that _the web without advertising is inconceivable_, and it follows that the best we can do is _make advertising somewhat less terrible_. In my opinion, the possibility that _unregulated or unsupervised web advertising cannot be reformed_ must not be beyond consideration. Arguing that ["there is no alternative"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_is_no_alternative) is not a good look. I will leave you all with a meme to consider: ![why-does-X](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1264398/156732616-22f931e1-d8a1-4083-b83d-24533105e9e4.png) -- GitHub Notification of comment by ansuz Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/patcg/proposals/issues/5#issuecomment-1058970240 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
