You know I was just thinking this the other day, and they are just as intrusive as the ones that piracy sites have

What ads, on what pirate sites?

I'm talking of ye old days, when you could stream a show or live TV on a pirate site, and the site would be covered with ads with the fake X buttons that would give you malware if you click them
