I hate ads as much as anyone but providing a free service that runs ads and shares part of that income with content creators is hardly particularly evil.

It really depends on whether you see ads as "bringing to the user's attention that there is a product out there that might improve their lives" or if you see them as "attempts to manipulate people into spending money on things they don't need or want".

I'm definitely in the latter group, but I can see how some market purists might believe in the first version.
