Ahh so I'm about to stop visiting some sites I see. Thanks google for the internet break.

Not that I don't fully agree actually, but just want to point out that... Not using the web is an outcome they absolutely want. That way only the "right people" are using the Internet so there can be the maximum amount of advertising and money made from each iota of bandwidth they have pried from their hands.

You aren't monetizable? Well they don't want you wasting resources if you won't increase their paycheck. It's just the Internet once again being early in resource hording.
