I find the concept of paying people for their information and time fantastic as way to battle advertising.

In other ways, wouldnt it be great to have the right to not be subject to advertising? Adblock has been great at providing such experience on the web to me..how about billboards? TV? Eliminate product integration? Etc.

I dont like using the word "moral" to describe a problem, because it makes it very subjective. The amount of money that goes into advertising is ridiculous and in aggregate it has to be doing lots of damage by opportunity cost and mis-information.



You can't really define "damage" without reference to a moral framework, though. It is somewhat inherently a moral question.
