     @thomasfuchs #4 is the non-negotiable for me. Don't like the rest, but as long as ads can be used to distribute malware, sayonara!

     @thomasfuchs ads started off like traditional billboards. Then marketers started abusing more and more technology to chase after a gross “we will build personas on everyone” goal. People are done with being tracked and manipulated online.

     This.

     For over a 100 years ads didn't have animations.

     And worked perfectly.

     Now they are color explosions and constantly flickering which makes reading the article some kind of high power mind game, which is almost unsolvable.

     Especially animations are the dumbest idea ad agencies ever had. They make using an ad blocker mandatory.

     Ok. That was before my time. And there were no articles to read between them.

     Was more thinking of magazines, the paper-internet before the real internet.

     @thomasfuchs I heard consumer advocate Clark Howard on his radio show raging about Doubleclick's cross-site tracking cookies, and telling how to opt out on Doubleclick's site, in the year 1997. I presume there's no opting out now. The WWW has been this way just about from the start.

     @thomasfuchs 6. 6. Badly engineered website can't load content or don't function properly because of JS errors like "window.theCreepyTracker is not a function" or "can't read harvestData of undefined".

     @thomasfuchs I get even more of that because I try not to take (enable) sweets ( #JavaScript / #JS) from anyone except me.
