Because the trade is openly hostile to the intent of discussion sites: to exchange and discuss information.

If users can't view the content, they cannot discuss it.

And, as I've also mentioned at length (in the post and its links, as well as elsewhere) advertising itself is the problem in multiple aspects.

The sooner we render it nonviable, the sooner we move to something that works.

"Because the trade is openly hostile to the intent of discussion sites: to exchange and discuss information. "

This is an opinion. It sounds like your your mechanism of dealing with the opposing opinion is to censor it?

That seems bad ... Why not say: "let them do what they want, and let me convince people they are wrong on the merits?"

Again, answered in OP and links.

Not in any convincing way .... It basically amounts to "because we think we are super right".

I gotta be frank, if this is the cure, it seems much worse than the disease.
