  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

No one is ever concerned with how much energy is used to feed ads to the entire population of earth 24/7.

Please propose a law or regulation structure for significantly reducing or eliminating advertisements. I'm serious. I fucking hate ads. I just don't have a reasonable or effective way to get rid of them.

Edit: Hey actually I just thought of one! If the consumer is paying for the product, it can't come with ads, including things like product placement or ad reads!

Where does it stop though? Will TV and super bowl still exist?

What about Facebook, the credit bureaus and Twitter? They're all a waste of energy too.
