If you had read the post where Ioi announced the amazon widget, you would have learned 2 things:
1) Ioi wants to expand the site by hiring someone to work on it.
2) If the Amazon widget is successful, Ioi will consider eliminating the other ads.
Considering the annoyance of some of the other ads, the relative simplicity and unobtrusiveness of the Amazon widget, and the fact that the Amazon widget is way more useful to the vast majority of people on the site... I personally support this new move and hope that it is successful enough to justify eliminating the other ads altogether.
Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.
