Bear in mind that your processor spends most time in an idle loop waiting for I/O in any case.
And the processor time in the browser is spent on fetching and displaying content. What that content might be is irrelevant.

And I've never seen one that actually made me want to buy something I wasn't already planning on buying.

So how do you find out about stuff you plan to buy?
I've never made a purchase based solely on an online ad, but have noted things of potential interest to look into further later.

Any advertiser that has never heard of the Acceptable Ads initiative, IMO, does not deserve to know and make money off of me.

That will be almost
all advertisers. What would bring it to their attention?
The smarter ones will likely be in compliance because they want the advertising to
sell, and intrusive, in-your-face ads don't.
