Whats soo wrong with the sponsored links? Do you run your cursor over every word you read making tyhem all pop up?

Or a better idea woiuld be to pay a (pound symbol)5 for a "gold member" membership which gets rid of adds.

Having a subscripition service which is ad-free is an interesting concept. Personally I don't find the current ads too intrusive, although the pop-ups which did appear at one stage were irritating especially as they seemed to appear every time I entered the site.

I only noticed the sponsored words today and decided it was an interesting concept and is easily avoidable.

The problem presumably is that the pricing of an ad-free service has to be right so that the income from the subscriptions offsets the reduction in ad rate charge due to people avoiding them!
