Privacy, Selfishness, and the Internet Commons: Time to Stop Opting Out
- micahdeath 5y agoI'm only opposed to big ad-tech like google. If it were ma & pa shops who actually get ads for it's customers - like back in the 90s - and where it's hosted on their site, then I'd be ok with ads. Now days, ads are JavaScript heavy, CPU heavy and usually obnoxious. My child says: "Can you look at this for me?" I look... The next few days I see ads for it and, no, I won't buy it anyhow. Not only do I see ads, but they follow on various random sites... My favorite are the sites with 6 different ads spots all showing the same ad. SPAM! That's why people are against them. (and that is only for the legit ads. Other ads mine coin and I don't need that.)
