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.
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 :(
Yep, but now that you have monopolies doing it, they can do whatever they want and abuse their position.
