    I mean sites cist money and people don’t want to pay. Ads are the only option but they have got to invasive so nope. Maybe if they just have ads relative to the site and stop tracking I’d be fine. I mean ads have infected unpeopled computers.

      Ads as such are not the background problem. But the problem begins when they are based on user data and activities, instead of being contextual and when they are abusive and highly annoying, as they are often. Nobody wants several unskipable Ads of minutes on dishwasher or life insurance in the middle of a concert or that is difficult to read an article chopped by dozens of banners. Apart often also ads of fishy companies and services, which is also an security risk.
