Ad hominem

A little while ago LJ introduced a feature allowing paid members to display Google Adsense ads on their journals. Here's their post about it.

I use ABP to block such ads from all my browsing, so I have no idea to what extent it's been taken up, but I am slightly curious. Do any of you have any idea? Are any of you displaying such ads yourselves?

You might remember a few years ago I ran a play-by-web game, Mighty Oaks, in which players managed trees that had to grow leaves, fruit etc. I had Google ads alongside that for a while, and they were invariably for plant nurseries or similar. OTOH Spore Wars, the game about alien miscegenators, never got any even vaguely relevant ads (perhaps just as well).
