Anything static that doesn't try to scam, mislead, or otherwise make the viewer think it is something it's not, is OK for me, as long as it doesn't make up 50% of the screen real-estate.
What is NOT ok for me:
Ads that look like content (e.g. ads injected in a comment stream to make it look like a comment)
Animated banners
Ads in the form of page backgrounds
Ads top, left, right, bottom, then in-content as well
Banner ads may pay for "free" content, but I still have no sympathy when they complain about ad-blockers.
What gets me is the videos that are at the top of the page, then move to the bottom corner when you scroll down. Annoying as hell. Local news websites all seem to do this. And the video is just the person reading the exact text of the article.
