Nobody can control the content here except the user. If they want to be controlled, then they can be controlled. It's not really any different than people writing posts that they think will receive votes from whales.
In any case, the direct-to-user ads are only one of several options and it is an option that is 1) out of anyone else's control and 2) not part of any potential blockchain protocol.
