Howard RheingoldSurveillance-based advertising, where searching for a sneaker inundates you with sneaker ads, and which perverts the sociality of social media with ad-driven algorithmic curation, has corroded online culture.

If you want online culture without advertising, are you prepared to shell out for it?
