> Forbid advertisements.

How would one formalize what's an ad and what's not? And what about sneaky things like sponsored content or, say, amazon reviews? It's hard sometimes to tell whether a review is legitimate or an ad in disguise.



I think ads are very close to corruption.

"Did you receive compensation to say good things about this product?"

Yes: corruption.

No: you're clear.
