    Not scam ads, intrusive ads. A decade ago i read cracked and the only ads were non intrusive sidebar ads or a banner at the top. They didn’t play music, they didn’t interrupt what i was doing, they just existed. Google, being the near complete monopoly it is, could easily force the standard to return to that and many people would never even go looking for adblockers.

      I was using that as an umbrella term though I should have specified both scam ads and intrusive ads that are a vector for malware.
