Right but they’re mostly not too up in your face with the spyware. They’re not hiding it either,but you could forgive a tech-illiterate for not seeing it.
The advertisements though, they’re fucking all over the place. The “free internet” isn’t even dead. These poor sods just choose to go with the advertisements instead.

I’m not sure we knew what spyware was before 2000
