> Honest question - don't the sidebar ads (on the right) on Facebook look ugly and intrusive to you (more so since they also change often)?

Not at all. I honestly don't even understand how you could think they are.

They're literally just a (static) image and a few lines of text.

Heck, I often even find Facebook ads to be inherently valuable. Most of them are for services I use and like.

They aren't very valuable if you are already using and liking the advertised service.
