I fail to see organized attempts to challenge advertisements.
I think lot of that is embedded in the privacy communities/movement, so it gets easily overlooked as a separate part, even though most of the time it actually is the cause of the disease. Many times it's just easier to treat the symptoms ("just install adblocker, bro") because the real cure is to topple the entire system and challenge our late stage capitalism. That tends to be a bit too much for a "normie" who doesn't necessarily even see the constant flow of ads as a problem and even if they do, installing a browser plugin tends to be "lol, too much work"
