Who doesn't like Ads? Right?
They are the best, whenever I just sit there staring at the screen thinking of nothing I want something to pop up and remind me of what I don't have.
If I for once am enjoying watching a movie, who doesn't like a break in the middle of the best scene to fill some of your receptors with something totally different reminding you when it will start.
Whenever a new movie is about to be aired, I just love watching the trailer over and over and over again until I already am so sick of the movie that when I go see it I feel dead inside.

But if it doesn't show ads, how can Steemit sustain? Must be scam!
I was remembered of one of my first posts where I instantly thought about "why don't they just place ads and from the revenue pay the active users who get to see them."
I have to say I agree a lot more with here. Its awesome being on a site that doesn't spam you with ads. Sure you can find posts that are advertisements but you still have the control with 1 button to mute that user or that follower who might be taking it too far.
Steemit doesn't need ad revenue, and I personally would love it if it was kept like that. As I was thinking about this I googled a traffic ad-revenue estimation calculator and stumbled upon this. I am not sure if it has gone down in value a lot lately because of the Youtube drama or if it always has been like that.
