Ads are a necessary matching method in capitalism, there is no better alternative unfortunately.
But, even if ads are a necessary evil, they are definitely overhead (in the sense that they don’t actually accomplish anything, just influence the decision as to what should be done). Maybe we can define some sort of ad-efficiency metric for an economy; what percentage of the money is spent influencing decisions, what percentage is spent actually implementing the decisions…
We already have the law as the meta norm. Let law enforcement do its job.
Is it public like Wikipedia? How do you decide which businesses are notable enough?
Is it the government? Of which country?
Can anyone submit without approval? It would get spammed to ruin.
Etc etc.
Are the a non-duplicate business selling something
>Is it the government? Of which country?
It doesn't matter
>Can anyone submit without approval?
As long as your submiting information about a non-duplicate business that's selling something.
>It would get spammed to ruin.
As long as its deduplicated no one would care.
