What the 24 advertisements thing is caused by is the page putting ads back in after they are removed using Javascript on Wikia's side. This counters people using custom/homemade scripts to block specific ads on Wikia pretty well as the ads return. However, it seems to cause this horrible loop on AdBlock in which the ads get removed by the extension again and again. The browser doesn't crash because there is a cut-off limit on the number of times the ads get added again - but it gets added to the page advertisement count on Adblock. There are still only a few ads on Acepedia's mainpage and its better to just use Adblock sparingly for the mainpage only.

Now, "You May Also Like" is a whole different story. It directly interferes with the article interface and it caused a slight hit on traffic statistics across the domain.
