How much free reign does anyone have when it comes to advertisement? I feel that the biggest issue is not only the volume / spam of advertisement, but how much misinformation it projects.
If the quantity of advertisement can be curbed in such a way that corporates are more conscious of how much space they have on television with advertisements (time limiting law), as well as what message they can convey, this starts discouraging and treating in-your-face advertisement less of a prioritiezed form of pitching a product.
Apparently, companies ASK for these websites from grubhub, because grubhub offers it to them. They can then take ownership from grubhub, but apparently a lot of companies never take ownership, so grubhub burns money holding these sites.

Although I believe that the amount of effort put in will also provide an amount returned, this isnt always the case, and moreso in this type of "showbiz" career. It also doesnt help that by lowering the bar in this field, you yield better results (see early pewdiepie, belle delphine) it provides better results with a fraction of the effort.
That, or the eventual depletion of oil. My gamble is more on this than politics ever getting it done.
