Patents a way to deliver ads?

So if we just patent all the ways to push ads and never sell the rights we can stop all of this?!?

Patents expire. In the long run your inventions would be used for evil.

Someone will just invent a different way to do the same thing and they will make all the money. Patents don't cover the result but the method.
