Yep, exactly. Annoying, ugly, irritating. Back in the day I did give in and run ads on my website, but I only allowed a small tasteful square in the corner, with the terms that it had to be well-designed, it couldn't be animated, and I had to approve it. I'm not sure if ad networks like that even exist anymore. But nowadays I wouldn't run ads at all, so it doesn't matter.
