Keep seeing this thing going around blaming Google for cookie consent and bad content on the web, and I'm down with the *idea* of a generalised critique, but this ain't it.

Better targets:

  • AdX allowing massive, scaled fraud and ripoff content for more than a decade
  • no teeth in Better Ads Standard enforcement
  • "programmatic" ads that undermine bid rates on quality publisher's
  • no tracker blocking in Chrome (would get rid of those banners, but only plausible after you fix ad rates)
