This. Why I use ad and script blockers religiously. You host the ads on your own site, it doesn't get blocked. But you won't. You know damn well that most of that shit is malware. None of these motherfuckers are going to host it on their own machines, not only because of the liability, but also because of the massive security risk. They're fine serving it to you though.
No thanks.
"But we rely on serving you malicious software to survive!"
IDK. Get a better business model. Be a fucking communist. WTF do you want from me? I'm not letting you infect my hardware with your affiliate's garbage. Not my problem.
Something tells me that as an individual I can't use this excuse.
Nah... Exemption only applies to corpo scum. "We didn't directly host it, our affiliate's serve the ads through their own servers. We can't possibly be held responsible for our affiliate links! That would be unfair!"
