I dunno, they will still want people to stick around on their site, so they can see their ads.

    I figure a ban of targeted advertisement would look like "The ads are only allowed to change once a day, and everybody during said day sees the same ads". Whereas currently, each time you load a website, there's an impromptu auction to sell the ad spots. (Advertisers don't actually have to pay until you click their ad). So there would be less incentive to keep the user constantly engaged, as it would be enough if the user just visits regularly.

    That's interesting, and maybe better than what I had in mind.
