As I said months ago: IF Steemians wish to increase the value of their Steem by making Steemit more attractive to advertisers, even if it means a little ad in the sidebar - its frequency relative to competing ads proportional to the amount of Hive account@null promotion they received, for example – then this suggestion should absolutely be implemented. Promotion burns STEEM, making it more valuable; so promotion should be incentivised by actually displaying the ads, not hiding them on a page rarely anyone clicks on.

My first resteem!
