To be contrarian, I feel ads are good and useful thing if done right. I look at ads as website working hard to figure out my needs. Ads connect products and companies which want to add value and the customer who otherwise might not discover them. It's win-win and normalizes platforms against paid services which vast majority of the world cannot afford. It's a slap in the face of 95% population when you say it just cost same as few coffee cups. I know the crowd here gets spooked when they see ads for product they were searching for. To me, its great that someone out there is trying to figure out proposing me competitive products I'm interested in right now. Again, its win win scenario but it has to done right (for example, no personal information transmitted to advertisers).
