Actually, I don't like it when advertising is mixed into/entangled with content. At the first glance, from the authors perspective, it sounds tricky because it is unobstructive and discrete, this kind of ad people might not want to block.
As a user, I feel manipulated. I don't trust the content any more which is not properly limited from the ads. My point is not even about adblockers or ads in general, it is just that I don't want to consume a text which does not even hide its intention to manipulate me.
However I admit that the flagging and placement of advertising is probably a matter of taste.
- serhadiletir 9y agoThanks for the comment. I will design egg-ads more clearly. So we will try to solve this problem.

- tomgp 9y agoI think I get where you're coming from but 1. not sure what trust is required of you for content which is a gradient in the shape of an egg. 2. would you be more comfortable with ads that hid their intention to 'manipulate' you? 3. the word manipulate is pretty loaded, really they're pretty straightforward about trying to sell you something
- LitFan 9y agoIs this opinion only for web advertising? Extending this to integrated advertising in movies - I'd rather see a character driving a Ford truck or drinking a can of coke than see an extra 15-30 seconds at the start of the movie watching an ad.
