Hmm.. but some posts are already giant ads themselves. I'm quite desensitised by ads anyway, so no biggie on my end. However, I think ads should be a last resort!

Totally agree with you. I don't even notice the ads on facebook lol
A post that is a 'giant ad' is one thing. An ad embedded in a post is something different. Other sites are embedding ads in the text. This is very distracting and totally breaks the mood. The vile microencephalatics are even embedding ads in ads. Try going to any commercial site (walmart, homedepot, amazon) and try to look up the specs (price, weight, etc) of any ONE thing...say a sheet of rigid foamboard. You will find very damn little information embedded in a ton of distracting adverstiements of OTHER stuff which if you try to look THEM up you find the same thing. Ads on top of ads, beside ads, embedded in ads, and none of them are saying a damn thing. No wonder the modern generation has the attention span of a gnat.
ADD (attention deficit disorder) caused by ads. A mental disease.
If ads are mixed in with the current way steemit is designed, this would be a terrible move. The attention economy needs to move well beyond advertisements sticking to our blog posts. Yuck, the whole idea of sticking ads to our content sounds absolutely gross. Let the brands create their own amazing content for their own accounts, like eveyone else!
Let the brands promote their content into one feed so those of us who want to ignore it, can.
What a concept! Let the creatives have control and be free to create stuff for the future! We need Steemit to become the envy of the internet, not the corrupt cave of lunatics it currently is.
