More importantly, who doesn't use AdBlock these days? I'm surprised internet advertising is still profitable. I haven't seen an ad in years.

Countless sites do this, I believe DeviantArt is among them. Any Image & Magazine site has this going on...just like those videos with "you may skip this after 15 seconds".

lol. Not just this, there are too many big companies violate their tos (for small publishers eh...)
Ask.com , doing ppc arbitrage, also ad placement (ad mimicking, means that ads looks same with content)
