Yep. I Agree. I believe it's a question of economics, not technical challenges.
Google is absolutely smart enough to make these attacks un-economical. IMO they are unwilling to incur the loss in revenue this would involve (false positives, banned resellers etc).

Meanwhile on the publisher side, Adsense is unusable with the constant scareware content on the network:

This is awesome!! I made a map of the events in the Martian many years ago (https://www.cannonade.net/mars.php) and when I read Hail Mary I wondered if something could be created for the new book.
You completely nailed it!! :)

I agree with everything in this post. I rarely use my laptop as a laptop.
I stick it on my stand and plug in my Vortex Race3 and wait for Apple to make a laptop that doesn't suck.
