Programmatic Advertising. Basically a automated auction for advertising spaces – the more visitors, the more expensive the place — with practically no oversight (mostly through Google and Meta) of who takes part. Which is also a reason, why this practice has a problem with malware (malvertising) and fake news and why it should be illegal, but you know how it is over there.
