Suspicion that domain 'adtrafficquality.google' plays a key role in ad recovery for very intrusive ad-serving domain(s)

[kalabic]

Blocking adtrafficquality.google was a key step in permanently disabling the rotation of polymorphic ad domains served on a few websites that I visit regularly.

I'll provide a more detailed explanation if this post gets more upvotes or comments, since the full story isn't short. For now, I'm just leaving this as an FYI.

One of the reasons I ended up here is that, not long ago, the ads being served to me across all my devices became ridiculously intrusive: pop-ups, dialogs that hid content until closed, ads on the left, right, top, and bottom of pages, and the same three or four products being promoted for weeks at a time.

The primary publisher serving these ads turned out to be Admiral (getadmiral.com), operating through a network of polymorphic domains.

Some of domains I added to my hosts (block) list:
84302764.xyz - known malicious domain: https://tools.malwaretips.com/url-scan/84302764.xyz, https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQtNA_83c7827e-3196-44f8-bb53-14da60284674

Leaving aside the issue of intrusive advertising, many domains operated through Ad-Shield appear to have a history of being regularly flagged as malicious, scam-related, or otherwise suspicious.

Because of that, I honestly do not care much if some websites break when these scammy ad-delivery domains are blocked. Publishers should either stop using them and switch to a different anti-ad-blocking solution, or Ad-Shield needs to get its act together.
