What nobody sees :
You post something on the blockchain, via any interface, steemit takes it and puts ads on it.
They make money with our content.
This is like Facebook taking your pictures and sell them. Oh wait, they don't do it?
At least it will be interesting, what ad service they will be using. And what companies will be advertising..
Who says they will place ads on posts of Steeminas? Nobody.
They will place small fakebook like ads somewhere on the front end like the trending page (highest post) where it will not disturb user experience at all. Even Reddit does this.
So monetise the bid bot abuse.. hehe 😁
You can see the PR for yourself, it will indeed put ads below all comment sections, beside lists of posts on trending/hot/new/promoted/feed pages, and interspersed in trending/hot/new/promoted/feed pages (unless they decide to change that).
I can't read this code on github.
Below all comment sections, really? That sounds a bit extreme right?
The other places I am fine with as long as they are not bigger than the preview of an article.

I tried logging out but I still can't find any ads. No adblocker enabled on steemit.com
Might be a caching issue. I see ads at the bottom of this post:
