dsoltesz's Journal: Hmmm... what is advertising?

I've noticed in the "related links" for any given article that the first links are "comparison shopping" links (and I'm finally getting grumpy enough about it to whine in my journal). Now, I've got a subscription set to "never show me any ads ever," yet here are these advertising links cluttering up what should be a nice, focused list of links to the sites mentioned in the article and topics the article is posted in. Am I wrong? Is it okay for SlashDot to be putting links off to OSTG Price Grabber as the most prominent Related Links? I don't care what the company relationship to SlashDot is or how handyPrice Grabber might be, the point is to sell stuff and make money. Next time my subscription runs out, maybe I should reconsider subscribing (after all, AdBlock will take care of the really annoying ads for me). Maybe I'll get annoyed enough to file a complaint.
