Every site is trying to pull a Bonzai Buddy now.

"We need all your info for advertising, not you can't opt out unless you make an account and give us your email. Oops, looks like I hid the opt-out under a subheader. Amazon is now profiling you."

WE USED TO CALL THAT SHIT A VIRUS.

ITS EVERY. FUCKING. WEBSITE. NOW

"Hi I'm going to block this entire site until you give me your info, this is very cool and normal."

Capitalism ruined the internet. The whole thing is malware now.

    I was just thinking about this the other day. I noticed that I would click on an imgur link and try to zoom in on my phone, and it legit just took me zooming as permission to redirect me to some completely random imgur post about the worst meme you've ever seen. And I'm like "isn't this like clickjacking or something? i thought that was considered malware"
