Oh god no. Why the hell would I want less explicitly defined ads and more native ads on forums. One I can tune out, the other pollutes the entire conversation s

  But at least they appear to you in a location where they're appropriate to the content offered. Ramon could make sponsorship deal with a local forum.

  On the flip side, being part of the conversation space makes their advertising refutable. On Facebook, I recall seeing an ad for a sticker you can put on your phone which supposedly blocks radiation to protect your brain. That is, in my not so humble opinion, a scam product which preys on and perpetuates a false fear. The first time I saw this ad, I recall commenting that it was a scam and people shouldn't waste their money, and reporting the ad. I saw it again recently on my monthly-or-so visit to FB, and the commenting was turned off, which is how most ads are delivered. On car forums I used to visit, it wasn't uncommon for people to push scammy products, but there were also respected members identifying them as BS.
