Good point Metro – I use gmail and hardly notice the ads, which are targeted by the titles in my mails (though I would say it kind of bugs me that Google is reading my titles – hmmmm – experiments needed here).

But I don’t think they make much from those – if they are not noticed they won’t work, so the pressure on FB and big G will be to make ads more prominent.

I suppose none of those users complaining use GMail then? I was skeptical of Google’s approach with GMail advertising, but after using GMail I”ve never been bothered by the ads. In fact, its kind of funny sometimes to see the matches that their algorithm(s) come up with.

In other words, to those loudly decrying this move, well, “Waah….” Use another app (as you point out here) if you don’t like the Free one you’re using now. . .
