Journal Marxist Hacker 42's Journal: Javascript Frameworks are Broken 1
Hint for any advertising-supported blog or news site: Cut back on the number of your Javascript framework supported advertisements.
Yes, the average client computer has more than 4GB of memory nowadays, but that doesn't mean people's browsers can re-download the same framework elements 20,000 times and hope that the article they're trying to read will ever load.
Instead, use static, text and image based adverts. If you must have animation, use animated GIF. Stop abusing the memory resources of the viewers of your websites.
In the end, more page views will translate to more clicks, even with older technology.

Also, some of us surf with noscript. If you depend on javascript to load your advertisement, we won't see it. Not because we're trying to avoid your advertisement, we just don't trust your code.
