Great article - funny & interesting :) Question about "Ads/advertisements" (I'm totally clueless about how they work): Does anybody have a link pointing to some kind of overview from the point of view of a website owner? (e.g. list of different providers, amounts paid by views/clicks, which informations are/can be exchanged with them to provide for example an ad in the same context of what the website is showing, etc...?) Personally as a user, I would not be against ads if they would be normal ones like in a newspaper/magazine, but many show full-fledged small&big animations => I get angry when I see my CPU usage at 100%/my fan spinning up/my battery depleting while reading on such a page, which is the main if not the only reason why I block them (I might even be interested in them, but they screw up my PC/notebook) => as a website owner do you have control on what kind of ads you want to show (technically speaking - like "animated" vs. "static", with how many fps, etc...)?

The wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_advertising https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_advertising is a starting place. There is also a vast swag of stuff related to digital marketing here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Online_advertising https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Online_advertising but it will require significant digging to work out what's useful for your interest. Also this part of the ads.google.com site https://ads.google.com/intl/en_NZ/home/resources/advanced/ https://ads.google.com/intl/en_NZ/home/resources/advanced/ has a reasonable amount of stuff within it but obviously only from a Google point of view. I don't suppose it matters but that's the NZ version of the page, probably only the 0800 number is specific to NZ but you might change en_NZ to whatever your language code is.
