So why are people OK with ads on the 360/One dashboard?

isnt the point is that everything a product does will not appeal to everyone.  Some people enjoy the ads some people do not.  From this thread alone, most just ignore them unless it offer something they are interested in.  I believe the issue is not that the X1 or 360 have ads, its weather the ads on display is something you care about.  I personally enjoy ads that talk about sales.  If not for those ads I could miss out on some very good deals.  Ads on political, ESPN or things of that sort I have clicked on in the past if they interested me but most times I just ignore them.

Alright, but the thing is those very same deals don't need your entire front page to work. They could be advertised in a text box (see: PS3), and work just as fine.

And I see plenty of ads already on politics and ESPN and other non-gaming things when I go on the internet. Don't need it taking up the space I could use to organize my stuff.

To each his own though.
