Yeah, when I'm at work where I don't have adblock, the ads are really annoying. If it was just google ads, like I think it used to be, I wouldn't be bothered at all. If they had google ads and made a post like "hey folks, money's tight, if you folks could click on an ad now and then that'd be great" I'd start doing that right away. But as it is, I get a kind of "gwaahaa, let's annoy our readers with the most annoying but profitable ads possible so we can light our cigars with $20 bills" vibe.
