I do find the conversations here about ads very interesting. I would assume that some of the people in this forum are actually responsible for what we're literally talking about.

They come out of the woodwork and try to argue their position occasionally, but get buried in downvotes and slink away

The position is usually something along the lines of:

- They ignore the incredibly invasive tracking/profiling/security risks involved with downloading and running malicious third-party unvetted ad code

- It's stealing if you block ads

- Micropayments/subscriptions just don't work well enough
