Your Skype shows ads? I've never seen ads on Skype.

See my sibling. Yes it does.
There seem to be ways to make that go away (null listing hosts either directly in the hosts file or - on Windows - in the Internet Connection Settings). Maybe. Before I'd use that app for anything of value, outside of my Mondays .. I'd try these approaches.

I have never seen a single ad on Skype (Windows, Mac, iOS) when I use my old account, where I have regularly bought SkypeOut credits.
When I created a second account for work with a new client, suddenly ads popped up everywhere.

Not on Mac but it does on Windows.

That's not true at all. I have ads shoved in my face on my Mac continuously. It's bulky & ugly to use (UX-wise), so it's only used for business.
I make myself available on nth number of services because they people I want to talk to are spread across them; Skype is not one of them.
