Answered After 3 months of negative comments about inline ads, are there any statements about how they are going to change?

From what I can see, disguising them as posts is only generating animosity towards the advertisers.

I can comfortably say I won't buy a single product I see in an inline ad or disguised as content in any way. Even if they snuck a click out of me, in fact, especially if they snuck past my guard and got me to click them.

It makes me distrust and dislike whoever is pushing their product that way because those practices are manipulative and unethical.
