Ugh honestly the text adverts are more annoying than banners and the like. It makes it feel like the _content of the site itself_ is being optimized for revenue, rather than being useful content. And god forbid you hover the wrong word and bring up a 400x400 popover telling you how great some product is. Maybe these aren't AdSense text adverts, but this was my general experience with text adverts as a whole.
