This past weekend, Showtime websites were found to be running a script that allows the sites to mine visitors’ extra CPU power for cryptocurrency, as pointed out by users on Twitter. The afflicted sites included showtime.com and showtimeanytime.com, but the script has since been removed following reports from Gizmodo and other sites.

they are good for people who think ads don't work on them because they are constantly trying to avoid ads and do weird stuff like install software thats selling their browsing history and selling whitelists to big companies who are just going to pay to get ads that are a little more relevant in front of you instead of understanding that good content doesnt just magically appear, content that people pay for gets made if youre so opposed to ads but want free stuff it makes no logical sense why you wouldnt want to be providing a revenue stream to people who make the stuff you like instead you just run no script and live the RMS way with text might as well just go into a comapny and poo poo all over their floor and say i want you to go out of business but then whine when you cant buy taco bell anymore because they closed it down from people making GBS threads all inside it and not paying for anything oh and stealing a chalupa

dude have you ever worked in the nonprofit arts space? there are no ads the there is no money. you go around sucking cock for underwriters, donors, and the occasional paltry box office take. you scrape and crawl on your belly to finance modest shows. in commercial tv powered by ads there is an infinite money spigot to pay your bros and broettes (artists) a fuckton of money all while keeping the corporate overlords happy. tv is one of the last bastions of decent blue collar work in this country and weve got good unions strongarming the fat ad revenue to thank for it. just my $0.02
