Its plastered all over paulgraham.com, not just the essays. I personally like the ad free version of paulgraham.com :). I wonder if adpinion is another YC startup.

Yep. Why else would I do it?

Selling out for kicks and giggles?

PS: Reddit for ads sounds clever, but still won't get me to click them.

I got a chuckle that you had to link to Adpinion, because practically every page on paulgraham.com has already been submitted.

So what kind of information can the adpinion guys extract if someone downvotes every single ad?

Get rid of "any" kind of ad from that page coz its annoying the hell out of visitor(s) :).

Actually that's what the system would do. Why expend bandwidth annoying people?

Well, we know what we have to do, now that you've given away the secret :~).

This will be an interesting experiment to watch. Its taking the reddit/digg style voting to the world of internet ads and hoping that users will tell what kind of ads they want to see. If every user is like me, it'll mean no ads... maybe everyone is not like me.
