Re:Ask HN: Why do you really hate ads? by greenyoda on Tuesday September 20, 2016 @07:15PM (#12544163)
1. Running someone's random JavaScript code exposes me to malware, even on reputable sites (who have no control over the content of the ads they get from their ad network).

2. Tracking me across the internet violates my privacy (and feels creepy).

3. Ads that play video or audio are excessively intrusive. If the ads take up more of the user's attention than the web site, the web site isn't worth visiting.
