RE: STEEM PROPOSAL: Offsetting Steem Power Debasement Through Unobtrusive Advertisements
Thanks. I agree with you... the more unobtrusive the better. Reddit has 15m to 20m unique visits a month, and they not only have a Reddit post ad at the top of their pages like I am proposing, but they also have two ads on the sidebar. Yet still, I have never used Reddit and felt overwhelmed with the ads.
The main type of advertising I hate are pop up ads (like optin monster ads). Also, I hate it when there are too many ads, more ads than content, or slideshows with one picture and 100 ads. I think one advertisement in the same format of a Steemit post would be acceptable to most users.
Adding in the community curation of ads is a game changer as well. I don't think I've seen that anywhere else. Certainly haven't seen advertisers bidding to the community for space either.
We hold the keys to the kingdom and businesses will come to us asking what we'll allow. No longer beholden to advertisers changes the face of the market.
Hell, could even add a feature where users could pay a fee in STEEM to block the ads if they wanted to. More market choice!

I like your idea. I have to think it over a bit, but I think I may add that into the proposal.
