I can look into making the ads more obviously ads. There's not really another place to put them in our layout, though.

And for the record, we have a button that makes ads go away forever. I think that nullifies anything about ads being 1st class citezens.

Does everyone get the ad that I did? I think what confused me was that it blended into the site so unobtrusively, and I know that's a fine line and hard to work with.

Overall though, the rest of my experience was solid. It's really cool that you can disable ads, and that it's open-source to boot. Best of luck and good weekend!

It's Google Ads. We aren't entirely in control of what ads you get (we hope to move to our own ad system in the future, but we aren't big enough).

By the way, I pushed some updates today, including one that makes ads more obviously ads. Tell me what you think, and a good weekend to you, too!
