I have seen my first RSS Ad since late last year, and the number has grow steadily.

So far, most of the Ads I see are banners on the bottom of an item. But some of ad actually appears as an item. This concerns me a lot; As the number of such ad grow, the noise level going to increase to a point that I'll have to filter a lot of junks before I can see see something useful. Sure, someone is going to come up with filter and other technique to battle these, but just like spams on other media (ie email), it's going to be a uphill battle.

RSS is supposed to be a simple format for people to notify the world they got new contents, but it's no longer simple.
