Why is the party over, I don't get it..
The processors being used for mining now are specialized for SHA256 hashes and are in the 3rd generation of chips. A i7 processor might get you about 15mh/s or about with proper cooling and one of say antminer's second gen chips for example will get 2200mh/s.

Think of it this way there's a math teacher and he is holding a lottery every class period. You can enter as many times as you want but you have to finish a math problem in that period for every ticket. You also goto school with thousands of millionaire kids that can pay experts to do the work for them and don't tell anyone else how they do it. You, the guy mining with your cpu is the potato in the back that would be drooling but you just ate a roll of toilet paper.

If hiding miners in ads were profitable all of our computers would be at full load as soon as they connected to the the Internet. It's been tried before its considered malware and usually ends in litigation.
