Who pays for advertising data transfer?

I viewed this article to clear up the question of who pays for advertising data but did not find an answer. When I view an online advert is the data displayed deducted from the data I have left to use under my data plan? I understand the need for websites to make money from advertising but wonder whether I should pay for it to be shown on my computer. Do ISPs deduct advertising data they carry from consumers' bills? Perhaps this question could be addressed under a new heading on the main page.truthordare (talk) 20:12, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

"When I view an online advert is the data displayed deducted from the data I have left to use under my data plan?" Generally, yes. John Nagle (talk) 00:32, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Comment on pending change

Concerning this revert by RunnyAmiga of Bharathrajaeie's changes; not only was every word unsourced, it seemed entirely copy-pasted from this post on "smartinsights", which licenses its posts under CC-BY-NC-ND, prohibiting derivative works ("If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you may not distribute the modified material."), so apparently incompatible with Wikipedia. So the material might not be (re)usable even if a source is provided. ~ benzband (talk) 18:37, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

@Benzband: Wow, thank you for doing this legwork. I can admit that I'm terrible about trying to suss out copyvios, even in situations like this where Bharathrajaeie didn't even try to hide it. I just warned them and hopefully that'll be that. RunnyAmiga ※ talk 18:49, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
