Assuming all ads are legit and don't contain some sketchy script to activate your webcam or scan your cookies (hint: haha, living in lala land if you trust all ads!), have you ever checked what percentage of your bandwidth gets wasted on advertising?

I’m not saying ads are perfect, but they’re not the thing that’s strangling and ruining the internet. They’ve always been a part of it.

But also like any website can run arbitrary code like that. Most ad platforms don’t allow their customers to just have arbitrary js.

And no, arbitrary internet code didn't exist before Java came out in 1996.

When that came out, I already sensed it was the beginning of the end...
