When adsense first came out it was text only and ads were actually fascinating and interesting to read. They were regulated and meaningful.

Then images and javascript were eventually allowed and it was all downhill from there. Now it's a race to the bottom of how many hundreds of external objects and tracking that can be added to a page as well as malware since so many badly behaving ads slip right through any attempt at automated bans.
