After I bought some Skype credit and still had the ads I thought it was a joke. Some of the ads are really shady, the "earn 3000 Euro in one day!" kind. Then after half a year where I didn't use my Skype credit I got a mail that my credit will be "deactivated" and I had to log in on the Skype website to "activate" it again which I consider scamming. They want me to think my credit is empty when I need it and to buy more. It's almost as bad as the prepaid SIM cards where the credit expires. This was already forbidden in Germany. I'm really not sure what Microsoft is thinking here.
