    These shenanigans have me rapidly transitioning from “I don’t want to see your annoying ads” to “I don’t want you to make any money at all”.

      I’m already there, and I’m applying this thinking to every site - including the one hosting this article.

        Same, I view the whole internet through uBlock and a pihole, so my value as an “impression” is virtually zero.

        I’m not against for-profit websites making some money (and I run my own website, which generates a whopping $0), but Google has jumped the shark with their sketchy malware bullshit, and I’m starting to root for that organization to die.
