Ads themselves aren't the core problem. It's the 10's of megabytes of superfluous javascript you're expected to download to read content with primarily text presentation. Put the marketing departments on the ark ship along with the telephone sanitizers and we'll all be better off.

This is far faster than the supposed streamlining that AMP was claimed to provide. The most hostile web sites I encounter are the AMP pages on the Google assistant news feed.
