They have not always been a part of the net, I can guarantee you that. Used to have my own totally free site back around 1999/2000 or so. No ads whatsoever, written entirely from Notepad.

Please don't try telling me the history of the net before you were born.

So first, you don’t know my age. Don’t be weird.

Second, just because you ran a personal site without ads doesn’t mean ads weren’t part of the internet…
