I expect to see code there. Instead there's this animated countdown stealing my eyes away from the rest of the page.
And the people in the ad are all looking at me funny.

I assumed it was deliberate. 
I just hope it's not a regular thing. I understand wanting to pull in ad revenue but a huge moving image like that pretty much front and center is awfully distracting.

I'd be happy to see the countdown clock go or at least replaced by something subtle.

Is it just me, but the zero with a little black dot on bottom (between days and hours) looks just like an eye looking downwards. Spooky...

I finished reading The Three Body Problem recently and that countdown makes me very uneasy...

Different reasons I suppose, but still I'm glad I'm alone in finding it off putting.

In the end, the money to run this platform has to come from somewhere. For me the flashing ad is no problem, usually I don't stay on the 'home' that long.

I don't run an ad blocker on this site is because of that. Otherwise I wouldn't have seen it in the first place. I'm not complaining about ads in general per se. This one just weirds me out. *shudder*

It's one of the few that doesn't get blocked by my hosts-file; and regardless what its for, I'm not going to view any stream that requires that much ad.

Ads come in various forms; and the money is partly coming in due to the success of the site, which is partially to blame on people answering questions and writing articles for free.

As far as ads go, this one is amazing.
Everyone's talking about it!

Well based on the advertisement, I can expect the conference will subject me to the stares of dozens of strangers, some of them smiling at me disturbingly.
