A consensus answer to "what should google.com look like?" does not suggest or imply any sort of "social contract". There is not, and has never been, a social contract that says I have to look at the ads served with any website. If you think there is, then I'm sorry, but you're sorely mistaken. Similarly, there is no social contract that says I have to watch commercials while I'm watching TV (not that I've watched linear TV in over a decade, but...). I can mute it, change the channel, go to the bathroom, whatever. If you think there is, then I'm not sure what to tell you; your opinions on this are so outside the mainstream that we're not going to see eye-to-eye on this. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

>does not suggest or imply any sort of "social contract" We were talking about societal expectations. >I can mute it, change the channel, go to the bathroom, whatever. You are free to do the same for websites. You can click the x button on the ad, mute the video ad, or change to a different website. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
