This shit needs to be stamped down by law.

People take up pitchforks and torches against AI data centers,

well how much time, money, and resources have been wasted on advertisements over the centuries?

How many people, including children, have been deceived by ads?

How much privacy has been violated in the name of "sErViNg YoU rElEvAnT aDs"?

Have you ever tried browsing YouTube from a poor connection, and noticed how long it takes to serve ads? How much bandwidth has been wasted on ads so far?

Who[m] does it all benefit?
