Giving another company the ability to serve content (javascript) on a subdomain would make ad companies prime targets for all kinds of hacking campaigns. Their ability to serve javascript and probably access session cookies on a large number of domains would turn them in some kind of skeleton key. This is bad for both the advertisers, the websites serving their ads and the visitors of those websites.

I certainly hope people would think twice about actually implementing something like that.




"Well we either run the ads with subdomains, or say goodbye to funding and our jobs."
