I worry about "tax thing I don't like" policies as then government is dependent on that revenue and now ... you to some extent want that activity to occur otherwise you've got budget issues. Now what is the incentive? Do you adjust taxes to eliminate it or does the state try to keep that revenue stream going?

I also wonder if somehow we're trying to seriously reduce advertising what that does to land of the internet where the users of the internet seem to choose / want "free" advertising based products. I'm not convinced folks just suddenly pay and upending that entire economy maybe a serious net negative.

It could be more a subtle change. Instead of taxing advertising, what about stop advertising costs from being counted as business expenses. You can spend all you want but you can't claim that cost as an offset to revenue. Doing this now amounts to a subsidy on advertising, so just remove it.
