The world we are moving to is one where ad exchanges, google, and facebook get to decide what can survive on the web. This doesn't seem like a good thing.

Actually it's the world we've already been living in for quite some time. A world not flooded with pop-up ads for hardcore porn ads, for example (like the internet actually was, not too many years ago) -- but in which you're more than welcome to go to certain sites (whose names and URLs everyone knows) to blast your eyesockets with exactly those same images, 24x7, if that be your inclination.

And it's not such a bad world, actually.
