haha, if a country wants to spend a 9 figure sum or someone comes back in time from the future to hack me, I'll be happy to consider myself pwned

It's a huge bummer that I HAVE TO block all ads as a security measure, though, and that people accept "Download advertisement.exe and run it in a half-assed sandbox or you're stealing that clickbait article" as the way things should be

After the initial investment in developing the exploit and before the vulnerability was patched, there would have been a near zero cost to hack any one user in particular.
