No one likes the Ads on Snapchat or too many slip stream ads on YouTube but it is a necessity. Even with all that Snap is unprofitable with a negative EPS. It isn't easy to break even.

I have heard several people complain about the little pop up ads that Brave does. They are annoying for sure.

Steemit INC had it's shot in 2016 to create it's own ad engine and they had created a pretty extensive SEO funnel especially for crypto related stuff.

The opportunity was lost unfortunately and there isn't enough traffic here now to really pull that type of thing off. It's essentially a ghost town here now.
