We have one son. When he entered Kindergarten a few years ago, he was quickly identified as being 'advanced' and would spend a good part of his day in the 1st grade classrooms, because he could read and write and knew how to count. During the meet-the-teacher event prior to the term, staff had expressed concern because we'd never put him in pre-K or daycare.
As a parent of course I believe my child is special. As a rational adult I realize it's probably just because both of his parents love to read, so he naturally wanted to do what Mommy and Daddy were doing. We did not discourage this.
Did you really just suggest that they buy every possible domain containing their name? Not just.org and.net but also bleepingcomputerfreest00fscammerz and etc.
Ads are served from other networks through a really long and overly-complex system of stuff I don't care enough about to explain. Basically, they sell page space to other companies and set it up so those companies can inject their content into the site. Those advertising companies were compromised which caused the ads they provided to deliver the malware. "BBC" wasn't hacked but their ads were. The average user won't really know the difference, and because it's all so convoluted and everybody is sleeping with everybody, the best (and only) defense is to block all ads regardless of whether it's a site you trust. Until "the way things are" changes there is no other acceptable response.

Which just seems to highlight the fact that the costs of today are disproportionate and in many cases completely unreasonable.
Is there a Mr I C Wiener here?

Only if the color used is blue.
I heard you like workarounds so we made a workaround for your workaround...

Sure, just provide your bank account and routing numbers, mother's maiden name, last four of your social, your 1st grade best friend's name....
Whoever dies with the most toys, still dies. I don't think you understand the objective of the game.
So the solution is more tracking!
Wow, we almost made it 12 hours after submission before somebody Godwinned the thread. That's got to be a record.

Does anybody have a solution to help these poor taxpayers?
More taxes, naturally.

Good question. Because communism! And terrorists!
How many times has the solution to a problem been "turn off your antivirus?" This will likely be at least as bad.
Shhhh.... Don't bother with those troublesome facts and naughty reasoning. Only the large cash donations matter.
Get out of here with your sense-making!
Cease and desist in 3... 2...
