When you put it in this light seriously I have to take a long thoughts about it. Having read the article twice now. I think sometimes we will have to accept certain discomfort in order to grow together.
On the issue of ads it will depends on who runs the ads, if a business opens an account and post ads on it. There's no problem as I will choose what to read and what not to. But if the people running the blockchain desire to take on the ads and push them into people's blog and feed just like Facebook do, then that's where the main challenge will come.
So in conclusion, we shouldn't ban people from writing whatever they want even if its ads but this shouldnt be paid ads that have to be forced on people's blogs.
