Google introduced a new AdSense ad format earlier this year that works similarly, turning text on the webpage into an ad that opens in Google Search.
Weren't these super common scam websites a decade ago?
Yes but the difference is they were opting their readers in. Now Google is hijacking content without consent if the site owner.
Yep, but now that you have monopolies doing it, they can do whatever they want and abuse their position.
I remember downloading Age_of_Empires_FREE_CRACKED.exe and having 30 new toolbars and half of the content on every website highlighted.
Yeah, you don't get a game :(
