LOL yeah in fact adult probably pioneered a lot of the most hated techniques out there.

But I troll, surf, scan and generally research sites quite a bit, and I don't get as much spam, hijack attempts, spyware and general malware from that activity as I get from mainstream sites. Even tracking cookies are 99% mainstream.

I get some pron spam. Sucks, but that's life. But mostly the spam I get is all about fake vuiton bags and Rolex watches, viagra, and I don't notice what else anymore... There's some dating site stuff too, which comes close to adult I guess, and dog treats (serious) and contest winner stuff...
