It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn’t matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

Both HDMI and DisplayPort feature USB/Ethernet data link capabilities, and obviously USB-C does as well.

This is dependent upon the version of the cable, and all other hardware involved, but this is well within the bounds of available ad/surveillance tech.
