There is nothing wrong with the idea of an ad, it's the implementations that are the major problem. Malware risks, completely unreasonable consumption of resources (battery, locking up the CPU), tracking, and more. No one would really run screaming from ads if they were simply text and images. And indeed, in magazines, they are. It's just that the dynamic nature of the web is too much power and greedy companies go overboard.
