The only way is to make that illegal, and many other tracking done by Google and Facebook.

Or just ban ads. There will be no surveillance capitalism if the data wasn't monetized through targeted ads.

Current direction seems to be rather banning ad blockers.

I am still amazed how anyone can stand surfing the web without.

Another direction is that more and more content is directly put on social media. I found I am visiting websites less and less, I even dont care about ad blockers anymore (YT is an exception).

I see youtube being behind a subscription model. I would pay.

If a service is good, I see no wrong on paying for that.

"If a service is good, I see no wrong on paying for that."

Unfortunately those willing to pay, are the most valuable tracking and advertisement target.

And that why every subscription service end up having ads after a while (with the ad-free version being promoted to a more expensive tier, or disappearing altogether).
