Not to hijack the thread, as they say, but I am one of the few who likes ads (as long as they don’t get in the way like pop ups or moving over and across the page). I especially like how Google targets my ads to the searches I have done and sites I have visited. Yeah, I am crazy enough to not even mind them running an algorithm on my email.
Even on a site like here, I like the static ads. They are obviously geared towards fishing and my likes and sometimes I see something and it triggers me wanting to check out something I have been meaning to.
