Thankfully, it looks like they will be respecting the people with adblockers and not trying to find ways to inject them, but it is still quite annoying. on principle. I've honestly been fine with them adding more advertisements for a long time.

Reddit got their members from Digg, which had its fall because of shitty sponsored content. If they go this way, they may take their fall animal farm style.
