That doesn't solve the annoying layout, it only replaces 1 add on the lower right with an avatar picture.

So if you go to the Video tab what do you want to see?  What we see here is 1 advertisement (blocked in this screenshot) and 3 spots for content that is currently relevent for people. 

Do you just want a blank boring screen that never changes?

Is that what people are complaining about? It doesn't look that bad, I was expecting to see wall to wall adverts for life insurance or something.

It really isn't bad. All the ads are in the same exact bottom right corner and they consist either Kinect fun labs, Halo Waypoint, Xbox exclusives, WoW, and several others. Imo it's actually better because with the NXE you had a tile the same size as everything else and sometimes had to swipe through them to get where you wanted. With this you can completely not scrolling over it, but you'll always see it.
