When they say they will make something people want, they mean the advertisers. Besides, this is the Internet. Ads are here to stay, so why not make them suck less than Google's Adsense?

My point is that advertisers will like this, content creators might like this if they get more money, but the USERS of the site will not like it. I'm not saying this is worse than other image ads, though it is presumptuous to try to waste my time in the process of trying to sell me something.

"Ads are here to stay"

This isn't true. Ads needn't dominate the way people make money on the web.

They certainly suck more than text ads.
