Ok I can't edit my original comment so just to clarify:

GitLab doesn't serve ads it only pushes out messages to users that they could have a better product if only the admin would shill out some bucks.

It's ok if admin settings are greyed out with a remark like in old freewares to tell you features you could have in the enterprise product, but if the software tells any user that they are missing out it is more unnescessary work for the admin to explain that we don't have the money to pay for every single student, most of which only create an account without pushing any code, just so that the search can work over all wikis and not only the selected one.

So again it's more like the "buy winrar" or "go pro now" nag and _not ads_. Sorry for the confusion
