Well they've not only implemented embedded adverts they now have flyover/ float over/ popups as well.
Nothing to me is more aggravating than flyover popup ads - accursed things should be outlawed...
I can go in the mode where I wander over here just to see what's new and what's trending and simply stay away
to avoid the nuisance factor. It seems to me the German and British sites aren't as rife with this sort of thing.. yet.
RCU may well just shoot itself in the foot over adverts... there still is that prevailing feeling that all things on the open 'net should be free; rightly or wrongly and anything that deviates from that just won't be tolerated long or well.
I can think of only one sort of media advert that is number One Evil / aggravating beyond this web sort; truly beyond the pale - embedded ads that I can't bypass on a movie dvd that I purchased... completely unforgivable...
