Ad companies are getting butt-hurt because the pages you are referencing are being seen even less, due to AI scraping by search engines. So now they are going after:

  1. The consumer using an ad blocker. Last amount of protections/rights, easiest target to vilify.
  2. The search engines, for stealing content views where ads would be placed
  3. The publishers for allowing users that use ad blockers.
