I don't like ads because third parties collect data on me through them. That's the value proposition of advertsing on the Internet -- profiling. I hold that to be unethical.

I want anonymous, non-traceable micropayment systems for content. Because I'm happy to pay for your editorial, comic or MP3 file. I just don't think you, nor the government have any business knowing who is paying for it. All you need is a third party to say yes or no to the question: "is this a valid transaction."
