> As others will be quick to point out, HN does have ads in the form of job postings for YCombinator startups that are delivered inline with the links on the front page.

The way all ads should be? :)

Succinct, relevant and unobtrusive

The ads should be clearly marked as ads, in my opinion.

I hate when social media sites hide ads by making them look like regular posts. It’s a dark pattern.

They're marked as job postings which is really what they are. Nobody will look at them unless they're looking for a job and if so, why not?

It's a very different story from ads on other social networks imo.
