This practice is deplorable.
It presumes that individuals have infinite electrical and computational resources, which is utterly false. This sort of computation is inherently going to degrade the functionality of computers, and will severely impact the quality of browsing on resource-constrained devices like Chromebooks (which is what I'm writing this on) while siphoning resources from me, wasting my time and money. It's this sort of degradation that compels people to use ad blockers. Excessive and superfluous resource use ruins the web.
Doing this surreptitiously as he suggests is outright predatory and is altogether reprehensible.
