Web advertising is, and long has been, far worse and more intrusive than TV ads.

i was referring to the "golden age" of captive eyeballs ie eveyone watched lots of TV and mostly could not avoid seeing most of the ads.

at least we've had ad blockser on browsers that work well up to now

the tracking of web ads obviously vastly overshadows what happened with TV.

they obviously want the best of both worlds "avoidable ads" and "extreme tracking"
