I think it is the way of the world these days. If it is done well and tastefully it shouldn't be a problem. Sadly most platforms forget about that.

yes, you're right. While I understand both sides, I also feel like a clean user-friendly integration that isn't too aggressive will probably be the best compromise.

Its times like these that make the advantages of no fees of blockchain technology a possibility to stay ad-free that I enjoy the most. Yet the platform remains as a community with a user-base that can accept marketing through posts but has the power to evaluate it themselves on a decentralized platform. Over time and more users & investors it will equal out all votes better is what I believe.
