Pretty hard to ignore their ads (very large and intrusive).

I think it might also have to do with the mental conditioning of Wikipedia, which is to say, you're not used to seeing ads on there, so the 'Appeal' is all the more apparent.

If that ad were on TechCrunch, I'd never have noticed it, but on the otherwise stark canvas of Wikipedia, it's all I can do to disregard it.
