It seems porn is responsible for pop ads

Saw some random meme about father of pop-ads, so i was curious about it and checked wikipedia entry about dude: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethan_Zuckerman

I find this part particularly interesting:
Quote:
The business model of this website was exclusively based on advertising. After one of the website's major advertisers complained that one of their banner advertisements had appeared on a page that celebrated anal sex, Zuckerman imagined a way to associate an ad with a user's page without putting it directly on the page.
Anyone knows which paysite could be on that page? Tripod era was quite long time ago so i dont really remember which paysites were relevant then.
