Interesting stuff, I don't have much issue with Steemit having the small amount of adds that they do. I do think that if they're going to place their own adds up to earn from our content they also should allow content creators to do the same.

I know this is a blockchain and the majority of everyone hates adds but I believe if done right it could give Steem & Steemit the boost that it needs to get out of this downward spiral.
