My wife and I have been playing almost every day for the past few weeks and neither of us even noticed that these existed. They aren't pushing them all that hard and it's easy to ignore.

My best friend has a serious allergic reaction to onions. It's no joke. He ended up in the ER for 3 days after eating something with only a hint of onions.

I generally agree. My focus was on the "business model" side, where people act like the web exists only to serve business interests. The Web will be just fine, possibly even better, if some of these companies monetizing everything were to fail.
