Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Most websites used to have way fewer ads and we blocked them anyway because of the ads with malware and them being annoying when they did show up.

So then people without ad blockers are shown even more ads. So then more people start to use more and more aggressive adblockers to deal with i truaivw ads, so corpos display more ads…and so on and so on.

My point is that we have tried your suggestion. The Internet in 1998 was very different.

Yes, I know all that. I spent 25 years in tech, which is why I also know how to run secure services online. Hence my comment above.

There are no private spaces online,

your privacy is at the whim of whoever owns the servers

Which is it? It logically cant be both. I own at least a dozen servers.

I reject your premise. Good day.

Nah, fuck off with all this.

Adoption.

Unless you used PGP or something, emails were never “private” in any meaningful sense of the word.

No idea what is going on with your comment, but whatever it is is not English. I typically only block spammers and trolls, but happily you definitely fall into one or the other (or both.)

This job would be great if it wasnt for the fucking customers.

Fortunately, it would likely never even make it in front of a judge. If you do manage to waste a judge’s time with this garbage, be prepared for your attorney (and/or you) to have an unpleasant day.
