The weird thing is, LLMs do seem to create an environment, in which such shift is not impossible. By this I mean, I know I personally use search engines a lot less now ( and I suspect that here I am not that much different from other internet denizens ). If true, there is a possibility that the existing ad model will -- out of necessity -- have to adapt to a new venue. This did not seem to fully happen yet ( providers seem skittish and are trying not to alienate people ).

I self-host some parts and I am currently in the process of adding some LLM layers in my setup. It seems like it can be made very personal..if one is so inclined. The question remains whether people will be inconvenienced enough.

That I have no real answer for since I am not sure what enough here is. I wince when I see hulu ad on Disney+ platform when I have their no ads tier, but did not drop them yet.

It is not a perfect example, but lots people see it as: 'its not that bad yet'.

The word netizens was right there! Still worked though.
