Your wish has been granted, all small businesses have gone bankrupt because nobody knows they exist and since the only form of advertising left is undercover guerilla advertising campaigns every post on every platform is secretly an advertisement!
I think people should be allowed to promote products and services, but those promotions should not be given any more weight than any other kind of post. The problem is when advertisers are allowed to buy spots on a site.
Wouldn't that just turn into who can afford the most vote manipulation on their reddit posts?
Isn't that how it works now anyway, in addition to regular ads?
You're not wrong!
Ahh! Oh no! Who could have ever foreseen these consequences??
oh no
