It's not Tor's problem to solve. Both common sense and actual research
[1] suggest otherwise. Tor only needs to steadily increase its
popularity and teach users not to link their real identities to online
activities. Service providers will then need to adapt their business
models or lose users, and as a result, customers (advertisers in your
case).
