When flash was dying I said it was a bad thing because ads would no longer be contained in these tidy, controllable virtual machines sitting adjacent to the page content but instead would be redone in JavaScript in a huge soupy mess where the content is held hostage by ads that slide in and out of the screen and cover content, popping in and out of existence, reflowing the page, making the content jump around and disappear as terribly coded flash apps become terribly coded JavaScript modules slogging the whole browser along with it. People thought I was wrong and insane. I wish I was. Realistic assessments are always less popular than hope and principles. Flash was the good times.
