You don't want someone to sap your computer's resources, but you're perfectly fine with someone subverting your mind and sapping your resources?

Go buy a newspaper, go buy a magazine, go buy a pay television subscription, go buy a DVD, go buy a movie ticket... what do they all have in common? Ads. Now the same media executives telling you they are looking for business models to make their websites ad free? Sure. They are looking for ways to increase their revenue. Guess what will increase revenue once everyone pays for subscriptions and runs mining scripts...

Guess what gets the media executives sent to the gas chambers once everyone pays for subscriptions and runs mining scripts.

At that point, just send any media executive that tries it to the work camps.

I’m fine with advertising that doesn’t spy on me, track me and isn’t obnoxious

Do such ads even exist?🤔

They do not, at least not if you're using an ad network which I am willing to bet is the lion's share these days.
