You bet your ass.

That's all its about: money.

None of these companies -- the ones that sell ads, or the ones that
host them -- care about what they actually contain. They have said
straight-out that "...ads are the future business model of the
Internet..." and, in effect, "...ads are content, content is king".

Believe me when I tell you, it will get much, much worse.
