      Advertisements in general. Imagine world without ads and sponsored content.

        I don’t think that’s realistic. Even the guy at the local market shouting “get your potatoes here” is technically advertisement.

        What could work instead is to make both the company that advertises and the one that displays the ad liable for the ad itself. If it’s inappropriate, contains malware or is in any way malicious, the company displaying it should also be liable for endangering the customers. Also outlaw tracking for advertisement purposes altogether

      This one is pretty location specific but I agree that US law doesn’t make any sense. Like, physician and pharmacist spend 10 years at university to learn all the details about prescription medication and then have to get yearly retraining, so how do you even do ad’s for that

        Two ways: first, you go to doctors offices and hospitals and give gifts to the person responsible for picking which version of this medicine to buy/prescribe.
        Second, convince patients to ask for your version when they see their doctor by telling them on tv that it will make their life better or whatever
