I didn’t mind having a couple of static ads on a page. But now it’s so much. So many dynamic ads, autoplaying videos, popups asking you to sign up to a newsletter, etc. No thanks.

I wouldn’t mind unobtrusive ads targeted to the content of the page being viewed -but that doesn’t happen. Modern ad networks all work on surveillance, and are indistinguishable from what we used to call “spyware”. I have avoided spyware since the 90s.
I honestly wouldn’t care if you put your mattress ad on a web page I’m reading about mattresses. I might even click on it!
