That's my point though. Four years ought to be time enough for them to sort this out after implementing that new view on ads. What's worse, that initiative was about blocking sites altogether if they had this crap on them, despite still allowing their own partners to use these practices.

Nothing has changed though. You still get these kinds of ads pretty much every time you visit the site. It doesn't matter that the article is from 2013 when the problem it describes still exists. That it has existed this long, despite people pointing it out, just makes it even worse.
