Ads

I just recently found out that LJ is displaying ads on my journal-or-blog-whichever — I hadn't previously noticed as it doesn't when I'm logged in (which seems a bit deceptive). I had previously understood that with a basic account there would be no ads.

Your opinion on the matter? Have the ads bothered you? Is there actually a way to turn them off that I haven't noticed? Should I find other hosting for my blog?

(I expect most of my readers are actually via feeds and don't see them...)
