I am not so much against the adds on SM as I am against the content they use to create page views for those ads.

SM started out really nice and it's articles where actually interesting to begin with.

Now they are just diversifying out posts to cover anything of the slightest interest to webdesigners in order to get more advertising doh.

Nothing against that business model but I can find better ways to spend my time than to read about "10 trends/ways/free font/icons/to/ improve/help/make X"

Most of that is so simplistic and misleading it's not even funny.
