This point also amazes me. Nobody wants to click on ads. Too many viruses and other horrifying shit exist as ads. Nobody wants to click something they weren’t looking for. Especially when it’s to spend money. Why would I risk having my computer destroyed for the opportunity to buy something I don’t need or want?
They really want people to mindlessly click and consume whatever is in front of them, not realizing people don’t think that way.
This. Why I use ad and script blockers religiously. You host the ads on your own site, it doesn’t get blocked. But you won’t. You know damn well that most of that shit is malware. None of these motherfuckers are going to host it on their own machines, not only because of the liability, but also because of the massive security risk. They’re fine serving it to you though.
No thanks.
“But we rely on serving you malicious software to survive!”
IDK. Get a better business model. Be a fucking communist. WTF do you want from me? I’m not letting you infect my hardware with your affiliate’s garbage. Not my problem.

Something tells me that as an individual I can’t use this excuse.
