Does running ads multiply your electricity costs (run your battery dry) and/or burn up your CPU? No. Does cryptocurrency mining do that? Yes. Do you see the difference now?

  Do ads make your CPU run at 100% load? Most likely not. Yet mining scripts will do just that.

      No, they're still using your computational resources without your (informed) consent for their own (financial) gain.
