So you have more effective advertising? Oh, you thought people were gonna make websites for free?

  Yes? A massive amount of material on the web (including basically everything worthwhile) is given and frequently even made for free. In any case, that has nothing to do with the user agent. Why would browsers (the agent of the user) implement functionality to make more effective advertisements?

    For the same reason that an OS like Windows puts ads in their Start Menu, presumably. Because their audiences are either captive, uneducated, uncaring or a mix of those and therefore will accept whatever defaults you throw at them. If those defaults help you as the org to make more money, then it’s a no brainer.

    The free stuff is junk. Anything worthwhile you will need to pay for. People don’t want to work for free, regardless of how little you value their time. As always, you get what you pay for.
