The number of ads was previously a major complaint. From my view, I haven't noticed a major difference in the amount of ads. On certain wikis home pages, there's still an ad on the side, and if you're not logged in, there's a large ad on the top of the page. I will say ad amounts are somewhat decent, but I haven't noticed a change. Hi JamesTheNerdKing,

We explain the new ad mix on Wiki Modernization: New Ad Layout is Now Live; main pages were not included in the new ad mix changes. The Featured Video project has allowed us to reduce the total number of advertisements on article pages by 30%.
