last.fm has to pay for broadcasting content. so they use ads to support the fees they have to pay to record labels. or, you can pay $3/mo to waive the ads. i think it's rather simple and traditional. also, i don't mind the ads on the dashboard, i don't know why people are making such a big deal about it. it isn't like they pop up and stop me from doing something. i either look at them or i don't. they basically don't exist to me.


There lies the key issue. We don't pay attention to them which means Microsoft, LAST.FM or whoever receives the ad revenue is getting money thrown at them. I don't have a problem with advertising per se, it's the garbage they advertise.
