As the article alluded to at the end there, this is yet another reminder that Google has way too much control. It's easy to hop on the bandwagon without reading into the implications here because almost everyone hates instrusive ads, but letting one company decide what does and doesn't get to be content on the web isn't healthy for a free internet.

The internet is in an uncomfortable position.

On one hand, users hate more intrusive ads.

On the other hand, if some people on the internet show intrusive ads while others dont, it's the people who show intrusive ads who will end up making most profit.

Google is trying to use their monopoly position to break out of that cycle.
