I doubt it was the SEO folks suggesting ads, they've known to prioritise page load time for a whole now. It's the business side of the company at a loss to find another way to make money.

To be fair to them, it's still not really clear what the answer is. But I think we've established it isn't what we have now.

Well the way I've seen it work is usually "we really need to add this new script to our website!" "But you know it will slow down the site for the users and make it slower to load, and slow load times aren't good for SEO?" "It's fine, it loads asynchronously"
