hi. would you consider js mining as a replacement for ads a bad thing (assuming from your response), maybe even shady? would appreciate any additional feedback. thank you.

I think it's sketchy as hell and frankly, I'm pissed. It's absolutely inexcusable that I had to read that the site mines XMR in your footer.

In fact, here's some more additional feedback for you. What you're doing is just about the most fucking unethical thing I have ever heard. I genuinely hope that nobody trusts you with their personal financial data.
