They had a say. They could have responded to the race to the bottom state of ad display tech. They could have recognized that they were in a tragedy of the commons and formed a coalition for better ads.

They didn't. They continued the race to the bottom.

Each day they continued to push awful ads that harmed the user they were voicing their opinion.

I agree with the rest of your comments, though...
