Google and Facebook were both built on ad-based internet. So...until privacy is respected, cookies go away, and more importantly, people did not buy things based on ads, yeah ad-based internet stands a chance. I did a quick search on how big the digital advertising market is and there are various numbers being reported m. I'll give you the lowest one—$~200 billion
