Quoted from robin:The feature is still in beta and a setting to hide these ads will likely be added for Pinside+ members.
This would help. but I would suggest doing away with them completely ASAP. These ads appear to be a double whammy of sorts. Not only are they intrusive, unlike the ads at the bottom of the screen, they seem to be 100% opportunist NIB flippers. These are the most hated people on pinside and we get an unwanted dose of them inserted right in the middle of these super popular threads. So the optics at this point are that we have a new feature on pinside made as a service to the most detested members here. In the grand scheme of things these ads might cause more harm than the revenue they produce.
Quoted from gdonovan:Ones at the bottom I actually pay attention to as they are linked to my interests and fairly unobtrusive, the ones in the middle I ignore without reading. I have actually made purchases based on the lower ads.
This is exactly how I feel. People can easily choose to ignore the ones at the bottom. How about putting the super ads at the bottom just above the normal ads?
