Default Ads in the posts now? Really?

Seriously now they're putting ads in the first post of every thread? Just saying I can understand making money, but it gets to a damn point when you have so many damn ads plastered everywhere you're gonna start driving away readership.

I'd actually be a little pissed/concerned if I were a site sponsor and internet brands was taking my money and making the website look like a trashcan.

Edit: So I see if you're logged in the ads go away. My point stands, I'm willing to bet sponsors make a shitload of money from lurkers, too.
