      They don’t, because it would be an insane proposition. The point of the meme is to say that asking to disable my ad blocker is like asking me to disable my antivirus.

      Ad companies don’t or very poorly vet their submissions, and it’s incredibly easy for malicious actors to slip hostile code in through ads. Ad blockers prevent that and are a first line of defense.

      Not websites, but some people ask it to use their applications/games, that turn out to be viruses.
