    Google needs to be broken up. It needs to separate in at least 5 different companies:

    1. Admob/Adsense
    2. Ads/Adwords
    3. Search
    4. Android
    5. Chrome

        Charge a fee, advertising is a scourge and needs to be removed from all societies with extreme prejudice.

            Advertising is based on mass-psychology and manipulation, it’s fundamentally unethical and its rooted in nazi propaganda.

              Advertising isn’t rooted in Nazi propaganda lmao, it was here before and it will be here long after. Calling everything Nazi connected diminishes stuff that really is Nazi connected, like Fanta.

                Bernays published Public Relations and Engineering of Consent in the 50’s, thats arguably when it became mainstream.

              Indeed, advertisement makes us think that lies and exaggeration are normal. It is one of the causes of todays “alternative reality” people. Advertisement should be shunned and pushed back. Honesty and true information should replace it.

      AdSense and AdWords are essentially the same thing. AdWords is how they monetize AdSense.
