Maybe not as bad, but the ads are intrusive, and annoying. Mostly I am getting spammed with gaming/gambling ads. What is funny is that I don't gamble.
If steemit is smart, they will get rid of the header and border ads, and implement something that is more innocuous, like in feed ad, like FB.
I cannot blame them. The price for steem dropped compared to BTC and others. A lot have dropped.
I'm not complaining that they have added ads, but I really don't like how they have been implemented. Oh well.
