LOL, could not stop laughing after reading "sucks lumpy brown sewer water." You sir, have the gift of ranting!
Yes, I don't like ads either, but I am a realist. And that drives me to find an equitable balance. We have the opportunity to design limitations into the system now, so ads are not overly intrusive, a secondary revenue source for authors, and a boost to the overall Steem economy. Steem, the cryptocurrency, then has more uses and can attract more external investment into the system.
The real challenge will be pulling this off and corralling the use of ads to be elegant and additive to the system and not overbearing or controlling.
You can't boost something that is currently dysfunctional. The basic reward structure, and the algorithm needs to be fixed using social energy measurements.
Thank you.
I was trying to be nice.
Ad's have polluted the internet.
Sites, in particular those that have been made by 'professional web designers' are almost unusable, and all because of ads.
