as for all the doom and gloom, I think the main thing that makes this so bad is that the ad was hard to close - the X was not very visible / easy to click, some said clicking it still brought you to ad site...
to me the bad thing was that the ad was moving / not static. Might be time for a checkbox, 'allow plugins to show disounts / partners / third party ads' - some of them are helpful / wanted.
when a plugin hijacks your next screen, like wp-statistics does after an update sometimes (others too, eg all-in-one-seo sometimes )- I hate that even more than what this yoast ad did.
could / should (?) be merged.
