Somedays I wonder if it's some vast, well-funded, Spectre-like organization whose backers just want to see trust in the internet undermined in the public's eyes on behalf of their own non-internet or anti-internet (think: phone companies who'd love to charge you per email and web page access for example by forcing you onto some private network) enterprises, large bricks+mortars interests etc.

If it were, they'd be fighting a losing battle. The Internet has acquired exponential scale. It would never operate in such a pay-to-click model. Mark.
