A huge piece of where we've gone wrong is that advertising has become its own extractive industry. This goes back farther than the internet, but publishing & broadcasting generally where the Money regards the "content" as a vector for the advertising, & the audience sees the advertising as a contaminant in the content.

It seems that creation and selling are fundamentally at odds, even though selling is pointless without creation, & creation can't survive without at least SOME selling.
